About Paul Sheppard

He co-edits the match-day programme for his local community-owned football club, Lewes FC. In 2017 Lewes announced its Equality FC campaign, becoming the first professional or semi-professional club in the world to pay their women’s teams the same as its men’s, to raise awareness of gender inequality in football. This inspired the idea for Bea on the Ball.
