I’m genuinely excited to lead the BAYS Foundation this isn’t just a role, it’s a chance to bring a vision I truly believe into life.

BAYS Wellness is where physical health meets the power of nature, creating spaces where mental wellbeing can grow and thrive. I’ve seen how movement, outdoor connection, and supportive environments can build resilience, confidence, and hope—qualities everyone needs to navigate today’s world.

Our 3G pitch, funded and supported by BAYS Sporting Facilities offers more than just activity—it provides belonging, purpose, and opportunity to flourish.

With challenges like exploitation, knife crime, and rising suicide rates, collaboration and community-driven solutions are vital. Through our programmes, partnerships, and dedication, BAYS Community doesn’t just want to offer support—we aim to provide growth, resilience, and a real pathway to hope and safety.

Whilst leading BAYS Foundation in Bedford is a huge responsibility, its one I embrace because of our amazing team and our belief that we can and will make a difference.
