For more than 40 years our client has championed gender equality in sport, tirelessly working to break down the systemic barriers and drive change to make sure all women and girls can experience the life changing benefits of sport.

• Play a key role in supporting the organisation wide budgets based on business plans.
• Ensure compliance with and submission of VAT, Gift Aid and tax returns.
