Equality FC, Lewes

LFC Club owner Karen Dobres shares LFC's equality vision as the first football club in the world to offer equal pay to male and female players.

Karen Dobres is a Director at Lewes FC and also a writer and trained counselling therapist, including creating and managing an internal counselling service for PolyGram Records (now Universal). Karen has a unique voice on the Board as she had no interest in football whatsoever before encountering Lewes FC’s equality initiative in 2017. Since then she regularly gives talks at business & sports conferences on equality in football and its effect on driving gender equality in the wider world.
