Episode notes
OGT speaks to Sporting Equals CEO Arun Kang.
Sporting Equals are a charity set up originally by Sport England and the Commission for Racial Equality to increase participation and involvement of ethnically diverse communities which they have done by engaging with both communities themselves and the governing bodies of sports.
Arun has been working in equality and inclusion for much of his working life and even did his MA in Promoting Equality and Managing Diversity!
We discuss his upbringing and how annd why he places so much importance on sport (“health is wealth”) and also discover that growing up he was besties with a certain Gareth Southgate!
In a wide ranging interview recorded during and specially for South Asian Heritage Month, we hear about lots of successes in all sports including football.
Asians in football... we're getting there.
