New Year's Honour For Goalball Champion

Emma Evans has been included in the New Year's Honours list for 2021, in recognition of her passionate support and promotion of Goalball.

The MBE will recognise her creation of the UK's first Goalball team to be invited to take part in the European Super League, her tireless fund raising for the sport and her drive to get UK Civil Servants involved in the sport for visually impaired people.

RNIB Connect Radio's Allan Russell spoke to Emma to find out how she became involved in the game and why the sport's development has become a passion.
