On Thursday 18 July, Stephen joined the Newham All Star Sports Academy (NASSA) to present awards recognising the work of their partner organisations.
NASSA uses basketball and indoor sports to provide children and youth in Newham a safe haven from the lure of drug and gang culture. NASSA started in 2006 and offers school clubs, summer schemes, outreach in local parks, and coaching qualifications. It has also run campaigns like “carry a basketball, not a blade.”
On Thursday 18 July, NASSA hosted an event to recognise the work of its partner organisations. Stephen joined NASSA and was asked to present the awards.
“NASSA is a remarkable charity, which I am proud to support,” Stephen said. “I was honoured to present awards to their partners and about hear the fantastic work they are also doing.”
