Biography

Ben Shave joined Supporters Direct in 2010, and is currently a Development Officer for SD Europe, providing advice on governance, communications and development to organised supporters’ groups across the continent. He worked on the European Commission-funded project, Improving Football Governance through Supporter Involvement and Community Ownership, and also works on the strategic development of SD Europe, where it currently works in over 20 countries. 

Presentation Summary
Between March 2012 and June 2013 Supporters Direct Europe, along with eight fans’ organisations and Cooperatives Europe, took part in a European Commission-funded project under the Preparatory Action in the Field of Sport (EAC/18/2011). The project, entitled ‘Improving Football Governance through Supporter Involvement and Community Ownership’ was in the area of good governance in sport. Overall, the project helped build capacity on the national and European levels, creating strong partners in dialogue with football governing bodies and other stakeholders. In turn, this helped promote good governance through democratic supporters’ involvement, in line with EU values.
