This afternoon in Parliament, I was delighted to attend a drop-in session hosted by the Football Association (FA) and the Premier League.
I was honoured to meet England legend Emilie Heskey and to discuss investment into local football facilities in both Hillingdon and Harrow. With the upcoming Euros and the recent success of the Lionesses, it has never been more important to invest in the grassroots game to give children across Ruislip, Northwood and Pinner the opportunities to get involved.
Thanks to funding from the Government and the Premier League, the FA has been able to invest into local facilities here in Northwest London. This transformative funding will benefit the mental and physical wellbeing of our community, and as a parent, I know how valued these facilities are.
