We are delighted to welcome Owayes Ayad to the Friends of the Rose Bowl Board of Trustees. He brings a fresh perspective and valuable insights from his own experiences at the Rose Bowl Youth Hub. Owayes impressed our supporters and donors when he spoke at the 2022 Auction and Dinner. He shared his challenges and eventual successes with guidance from the youth workers, Clive Tachie and Dawn Jarrett. You can read more about his inspiring story here.

On his appointment, Owayes said

‘The Rose Bowl Youth Centre is actively providing a safe environment for kids, young people and their families. This is to ensure that service users benefit, learn, and develop in all aspects. We as The Friends of the Rose Bowl Charity’s trustees are eager to tackle all those social mobility barriers that stand in the way of offering our local community their chance to flourish and achieve their goals.’
