Sadly Covid-19 is going to continue to impact not only our sport, but all sports for the foreseeable future.” The next 12 months are going to be tough both in the BAFA community but also for many members and their families who are facing personal challenges as well. The one thing I can promise is that we will continue to work hard for you, our members, to ensure that there is and will continue to be a sport and a National Governing Body for the future. Over the last 12 months, society and sports have had a spotlight shown on issues such as financial sustainability, racism, inclusivity, and mental wellbeing, all of which are important issues to our community as well. It’s my hope that you can see some of the advancements we are making on these critical issues in this report and our commitment over the next 12 months to continue to address them.
