Man Utd Foundation organisational update

Over the past 18 years, John has developed an operational delivery model that is based in the most socially deprived areas of Greater Manchester, and has led the growth of Manchester United Foundation to become one of the largest football club charities in the UK and a leading organisation for youth impact across the North West.

Delivering football, educational and personal development programmes the Foundation directly engages upwards of 42,000 young people across every borough of Greater Manchester and other areas of the UK.

In 2022, John was awarded an MBE for his services to young people; he was also presented with a doctorate by Ulster University, in recognition of his outstanding contribution to the personal development of young people through education, sport and community engagement.
