Burnley FC in the Community has a new face at the helm.
Dr Sara Ward starts her new role today as Chief Executive Officer as the successor to Neil Hart, who has stepped up to become CEO of the club.
Both find themselves in the unique situation of starting new jobs in the wake of a coronavirus pandemic that has effectively shut down normal life.
However, Sara believes that Burnley FC in the Community is well placed to withstand the present challenges – and will come back stronger once normal business resumes.
She said: “Starting a new role in a pandemic certainly gets the adrenaline pumping, but I think in these unprecedented times, Burnley FC in the Community probably has an even more important role to play.
