The Jason
Roberts Foundation has announced that Caribbean Development Manager , Gary
Mulcahey will be leaving the Foundation and seeking a new challenge back in the
United Kingdom at the end of March 2011.
Gary Mulcahey was recruited in
April 2008 to deliver programmes and activities on the Island of Grenada, on
behalf of the Foundation, and in his role as Development Manager, he has
assisted and helped to develop some of the innovative programmes to the local
people of the Spice Isle. Some of the highlights of the last three years for
the Jason Roberts Foundation have been the Floodlight sessions, the visit of
the Liverpool Legends in 2009 and last year’s National Youth Premier League involving
over 70 teams from all over Grenada and Carriacou.
Otis Roberts, Chief Executive of
the JRF commented “Gary has worked hard in helping to deliver the Foundations
objectives and activities on the Island.
He has been extremely resourceful and immersed himself in the culture of
Grenada. We thank him for his services over the last three years. The
foundation will continue to deliver a wide range of exciting projects in 2011,
starting in May/June with various members of Blackburn Rovers FC staff visiting
the island to support our summer initiatives. And we look forward to continuing
our productive relationship with sponsors and stakeholders on the island.”
Gary Mulcahey
explained “After three years on this beautiful
Island, I have decided that I need a new challenge back in England. I have had
a terrific experience here with the Foundation and have enjoyed the challenges
and the culture in Grenada immensely. I would like to thank the people of Grenada
for making me feel so welcome. I will still be a frequent visitor to the Isle
of Spice in years to come.”
Jason Roberts, MBE, Chairman of
the JRF said “I would like to thank Gary for his efforts over the last
3 years and wish him well in the future. It was always our long term intention
to localise the project in Grenada and empower the Grenadian people to run the
programmes in all of the parishes. I
look forward to visiting the island in the coming months and working closely
with our local partners. I intend to get more involved and hands-on with the
programmes in readiness for my return home.”
