About me

Hi I’m Eva,

I am interested in and very passionate about helping the community in which I live and giving support to people.

I am a determined, confident and kind person who already helps the Street Parish Council as their Youth Cadet and I also work with the Lions Club.

I am very sporty and do Modern Pentathlon and play Hockey.

I believe…

  • All children should be treated fairly, equally and without prejudice
  • Every young person deserves access to high quality sports opportunities, no matter their school or sporting ability
  • Sport helps to improve confidence, teamwork and mental wellbeing so all schools should support this more
  • Schools should provide more inclusive activities for students with disabilities of additional needs as well

During my term, I will…

  • Create an anonymous student voice system online like a suggestion box where everyone can share their ideas or concerns about sport without fear or judgement, ensuring every voice is heard equally
  • Run a school/college wide survey, where students vote on the sports or activities that they want. Then I will present the results to PE staff in schools/colleges to help introduce new opportunities
  • Help organise a “Try Something New Day” focusing on fun low pressure activities to help students build confidence and enjoy sport even if they’ve never done it before
  • Campaign to the teachers to introduce at least one inclusive activity or adapted fitness session and make sure that students with additional needs or disabilities get the same access to sport as everyone else
