It was fantastic to see so many of our team come out to support the UK Chinese Dragonboat Festival. The event is a fantastic celebration of the community Manchester United Foundation works in every day and it was a pleasure to take part.

I enjoyed sharing thoughts, ideas and best practice with fellow professionals at yesterday's Sports Charity Summit with the Name of the Game 🀝 It was great to meet professionals working in basketball, rugby and cricket - there's so much wisdom we can take from other sports.

Sir Bobby would have been so very proud to have had an award named after him. His legacy lives on with this, and in the work of Manchester United Foundation and The Sir Bobby Charlton Foundation. Football for the greater good ❀️

I know Sir Bobby would have been in his element launching the Sir Bobby's Street Reds project ❀️ Offering a safe space to children through this session, where the young people can come together and play football in his adopted home of Manchester, would have made him so proud.
