I spoke to what I thought would be my toughest audience yet, but ended up being my absolute sweetest! I shared my journey with @TurnhamPrimary pupils during their assembly. I then had a more intimate discussions with their year 5 & 6 classes.#primaryschool #journalism #inspire pic.twitter.com/Dc4mfuIJc9— Simi Jolaoso (@simijourno) October 19, 2024

We love this. The confidence in our female players has rocketed since we have been part of the Girls United programme. Hopefully one of our girls can go on and have the success that @IanWright0 and David Rocastle had. @thesteptrust https://t.co/htDRUx8sLs— Turnham Academy (@TurnhamPrimary) October 4, 2024
