Sport. It's about so much more than games.

Aspirations. Community. Rehabilitation. Sport can give people who've experienced injury all these things.

Watch the film and hear the story of Harvey Greenaway, who experienced a life-changing brain injury as a result of an accident. Football, the passion around which he built his life, has helped him make a recovery that no one expected.

We also speak to Harvey’s parents, Paralympian Katrina Hart, CP Footballer Martin Sinclair, and Nicola Cale of CCMS to explain how they see sport as a force for good.

You can also see more of Harvey’s engagement with the world of football via the following links.
