Stacey Copeland has represented her country in two sports, football and boxing. As an amateur boxer, she won a European silver medal before turning professional and making history in 2018 when she became the first ever British woman to win the Commonwealth title.
Listen to Stacey tell the story of her sporting achievements and how in 2017 she founded the charity Pave The Way.
She will talk about how the charity started and the work it does to lift barriers to human potential by challenging gender stereotypes for boys, girls, men and women. She will pose questions and invite the audience to discuss the theme of gender stereotypes and gender equality in sports. There will also be the opportunity to ask questions.
Stacey delivers talks in schools, communities, and businesses, and has spoken at the European Parliament and the United Nations. She is a broadcaster on BBC Radio Manchester and recently won the Emerging Talent award at the O2 media awards for presenting the Paving The Way television series on Granada Reports.
