Before taking on his current role in 2019, Hamid worked as Strategic Lead for Sported where he managed projects and services to almost 400 community sports organisations in London, primarily focusing on disadvantaged and under-represented communities across the capital and understanding barriers to engagement.

Alliance Chairman, Andrew Moss said: “We are excited to be welcoming Hamid to the board. His appointment comes at a time when we are about to finalise our new strategy and the sector continues to wrestle with the implications of COVID-19"

“Hamid will undoubtedly bring fresh perspectives, insights and energy to the table and we very much look forward to working with him.”

Hamid started his role with the Alliance on Monday 8 February.
