Creating a healthier and safer world for children through the power of sport and playfeatured title

Chris Robinson- UK National Director

Experience

My career to date has revolved around two things: sport and charity. Early in my career I was a semi-pro football player, and also worked as a management consultant in the public, private and community sectors. I've been a professional football coach and manager both in the UK and abroad, and in recent years I have run a number of UK charities.
