🎉 Huge congratulations to Stephen Sodzi on an amazing year of achievements! 🎉

Stephen has been part of The Music Works community for many years. From taking part in our Youth Social Action programme, where he helped create campaigns tackling issues affecting young people and challenged school policies impacting students with dreadlocks and braids, to contributing to our Youth Advisory Group and volunteering at King's Jam, he has always been passionate about creating opportunities for others and making a positive difference in his community.

That dedication has recently been recognised with several well-deserved awards. Stephen received the Sporting Impact Award, recognising the impact he has made through leadership, volunteering and community work. Through his roles with MMU Basketball, Basketball England and as founder of GLOSBALL, he has helped create more opportunities for people to get involved in the sport he loves.
He also played a key role in MMU Basketball winning the Digital Engagement Award and was awarded Manchester Met Sports Colours for his outstanding contribution to student sport.

We are so proud to see Stephen continuing to achieve great things and using his skills, passion and leadership to make a difference both on and off the court. Congratulations, Stephen! 👏🏀✨
