Feedback from a club president: Successful grant applicant for female-friendly facilities, our grant was successful in the World games fund due to the information we were able to provide the council. This information was a result of my participation in Change Makers as I used our data analysis of the club to give them information about the club. For our club, Change Maker participation has resulted in a positive outcome that will benefit our female soccer community for years to come. Thank you!
