Equality, Diversity and Inclusion (EDI) high on the agenda at Harrogate Town AFC

As the club continues to expand in every direction, it is important that focus is given towards Equality, Diversity and Inclusion. The Community Foundation has worked closely with the club to recruit Volunteer EDI Officers to help create, develop and implement a new EDI strategy. We would like to welcome Claire Streeter and Baljit Singh and wish them all the best in their new roles.

Claire Streeter

I am delighted to be joining Harrogate Town and really looking forward to developing their Equality, Diversity and Inclusion agenda. I am passionate about ensuring that everyone who engages with Harrogate Town AFC has a positive experience and that all areas of the club are inclusive to all. Over the coming months it will be great to engage with the local community, as well as supporters, to welcome any feedback and suggestions that will help us achieve our goal.

Baljit Singh

I am very excited to be joining Harrogate Town as EDI Officer. This is a great opportunity for me to follow my passion in Diversity and Inclusion and to make a real positive impact in this area. After 15 years in the corporate world, I feel my experience and skills can help shape the clubs’ EDI agenda and create a huge opportunity for diverse groups to add value to the club. My vision is to help create a football club that reflects the communities we serve and is inclusive across all touchpoints.
