For Global Pride Month 2021 we introduce you to Scottish Rowing Board Member, athlete at St Andrews University BC and founder of Here for Sport, Sam Winton.
Sam took up rowing in 2018 at the University of St Andrews, before becoming the Development Officer in 2020. He has now joined the Executive Committee as the Volunteering and Engagement Officer for Saints Sport. Prior to arriving at St Andrews, he had been heavily involved in outreach programs across the West Midlands, working in a variety of schools. He used this experience to restart the Boat Club’s community engagement project around Loch Ore, working with Scottish Rowing to increase participation within the virtual school's league.
In 2019 he founded Here For Sport, a social enterprise which works with under-represented communities and groups to address barriers to participation within sport. He aims to make all sport more inclusive and diverse.
We asked Sam a few questions about rowing and what this Global Pride Month means to him.
