Girl, 15, from Lutterworth picks up awards for equality in football campaigning

Ben Jackson on BBC Radio Leicester

Available for over a year

A girls' football campaigner from Lutterworth has landed her yet another award for paving the way for equality in the sport. Olivia has been fighting for boys and girls to be treated the same way when it comes to playing football for much of her childhood. Aged just 15, she's not only created a global awareness day, delivered speeches for UEFA and Fifa - but also met Prince William when she was one of only a small group of young people to receive the Diana Legacy award. And if that wasn’t enough, last week Olivia was named the Nationwide FA Mutual Respect Award Winner. Olivia has been chatting with Jack Rafferty.
