In this special episode of The Custard Splat podcast we sit down with Olympic medalist and World Champion Fatima Whitbread MBE alongside the inspirational Gina Gardiner.

Fatima opens up about her powerful journey growing up in the care system, how sport changed the direction of her life and the path that led her to becoming one of Britain’s greatest athletes. We also discuss the work she’s doing today through Fatima’s UK Campaign, which is dedicated to improving the lives and opportunities of young people growing up in care.

Alongside this, Fatima explains why she wanted to get involved with Southend United’s “Draw Her Into The Game” campaign, helping inspire the next generation of girls to get involved in sport.

Gina also shares her own incredible story of resilience, determination and empowerment and her passion for helping people believe in themselves and unlock their potential.

A powerful and inspiring conversation about overcoming adversity, leadership, mindset and creating opportunities for the next generation.
