BISFed is pleased to announce that our President, David Hadfield, has been awarded the honour of Officer of the Order of the British Empire (OBE) for services to sport in the Queen’s 2022 Honours List.
David was instrumental in establishing BISFed as boccia’s international governing body in 2013 and has been the President since then.
Commenting on the award, David said: “this was most unexpected, but it recognises that boccia is now a global sport, played professionally and as a leisure activity by thousands around the world. The honour is really for BISFed and all the wonderful people, staff and volunteers who have made our journey possible.”
