To coincide with the launch of the Laureus Sport for Good Index, SportsPro editor at large Eoin Connolly is joined by Laureus managing director Ned Wills and Baroness Grey-Thompson, the decorated Paralympian who is now a crossbench member of the UK’s House of Lords and a leading voice in using sport for positive social change. They discuss the purpose of the Index project and its benchmarking potential, as well as the wider value of sports organisations as agents of tangible progress. They also take on the practicalities of working with partners and public authorities in making a meaningful, lasting difference.
