Welcome to Level Playing Field

LPF is a registered Charity in England and Wales which acts as a campaigning and advisory organisation to its membership and other parties across all sports. . www.levelplayingfield.org.uk

Message from LPF Chair, Tony Taylor

Tony Taylor has paid tribute to his predecessor Joyce Cook OBE  for her outstanding vision and achievements during her time at LPF.

"Having worked closely with Joyce over the last eight years, I know how dedicated and determined she has been in putting the topic of access and inclusion for sports fans right at the top of the agenda and I am sure that she will have great success in her new role with FIFA"

"I would also like to thank Rosie Perkins, our former Treasurer for her work on behalf of the charity. It will certainly be strange not having Joyce or Rosie around and I know that our members will join with me in wishing them both the very best for the future". 

"We have a strong board of Trustees and it is very much business as usual". Keith Graham, another long serving LPF Trustee is the new Secretary, with Steve Evans taking on the role of Treasurer.
