The heritage map

The London Borough of Brent is saturated with talented women who have ascended to the highest peaks of domestic and international sport.

Empower to Achieve celebrates and uncovers the untold stories of women who have proudly called Brent their home. Their stories—family origins, mentors, memories of breakthrough moments—hide in plain sight throughout the borough from childhood homes, to local parks, to primary schools. 

Join the Jason Roberts Foundation and the National Lottery Heritage Fund, on their journey to capture the rich history of an often uncredited costar, the Borough of Brent, in some of sport’s most inspiring stories.
