30 days of things I'm proud of from this stressful, exhausting year that is 2020. I'll add something every day (two today because I missed yesterday)
1. In the 1st weeks of lockdown we issued payments to live clubs creating cash flow, created a fund to provide whatever was needed to stay connect & active, & trialled tech solutions. We were agile under pressure.
