Long-standing Derry City volunteer Lawrence Moore delighted with full-time Football Social Responsibility Officer post
LONG-standing Derry City volunteer Lawrence Moore has been appointed as the Brandywell club’s first Football Social Responsibility Officer [FSR] on a full-time basis.
Lawrence has been the club’s Public Relations Officer for the past nine years and will continue to fulfil that important role alongside his new duties.
Under the Uefa club licensing system every club that participates in the Uefa Champions League, Europa League or Conference League must appoint a social and environmental sustainability officer to oversee the implementation of sustainability policies and measures.
And Derry City’s Club Chief Financial Officer highlighted Lawrence’s dedication and contribution to the club over the years and his suitability for the new role.
“We are all delighted to have Lawrence on board in this new capacity. He is incredibly well thought of by all at the club, and we look forward to working with him as he steps into this important role”.
“Building on what has already been done in recent times, this appointment is a commitment by the club to strengthen the role it has in the community”.
“I’m delighted to be joining the staff at the club, having spent most of the past 30 years in various volunteering roles,” added Lawrence. “I was entrusted with the PRO role in 2017 and that has given me the opportunity to develop relationships not just within the League of Ireland, but across a wide array of other sporting and community bodies as well.
“The FSR programme has become a huge part of club life generally, and Derry City FC is keen to show our commitment to that process. I’m very happy that this post will allow me to combine both roles, and continue to be part of the club’s excellent PR and media team. “I’m looking forward to getting started in the coming weeks.”
