Pippa Britton: The importance of inclusion across sport

S10 Ep 3

Pippa Britton is Wales’s most successful Archer, a double Paralympian and double world champion Pippa made the podium at six consecutive world championships and won 24 medals at 24 international events.

Pippa also represented the Welsh able bodied archery team on more than 20 occasions and has broken many world and national records.

After retiring from competing, Pippa decided to give back to sport and society combining her understanding of diversity and equality with her experience of governance. She's had a number of prominent non-executive board roles, including the vice-chair of Sport Wales and UK anti-doping and the chair of Disability Sport Wales.

We explore much in this conversation including the importance of diverse sports boards and what more needs to be done to improve the way we treat athletes at the end of their sporting careers.
