Investors Club: Upcoming exclusive event with Geoff Thomas MBE and Chief Medical Officer at the Premier League

Our next instalment of the Investors Club covers an in-depth conversation with Dr. Mark Gillet discussing the medical side of football alongside Palace legend Geoff Thomas. To gain access to this event via the Investors Club, please complete the below form.

In our next Investors Club event in early April, we will delve into the medical side of football, with exclusive insights from the Chief Medical Officer of the Premier League, Dr. Mark Gillett.

In his role, Mark has overseen the medical standards and protocols across England’s top flight, managed injury prevention, treatment and the unprecedented challenges of the COVID-19 era.

Before joining the Premier League, Mark held key positions including First Team Doctor at Chelsea and Director of Performance at both West Bromwich Albion and Nottingham Forest. Mark also played a significant role at the 2012 London Olympics as Chief Medical Officer for Team GB’s men’s and women’s basketball teams, bringing extensive experience across elite sporting organisations to the evening.

We’ll also be joined by former Palace captain Geoff Thomas who will share insights into his career at Crystal Palace, and their experiences with the medical side of football.

Join us for an evening of exclusive football insights, great conversations, camaraderie, and refreshments. Held at top London venues, our gatherings always offer something special.

In the past, the group has benefitted from in-depth conversations with Dougie Freedman, Sporting Director at Palace, Paul Cleal, Head of Operations for The FA, alongside heart-warming stories from our participants, and how we have helped shape their lives for the better; Jesse’s story about how mentoring prepared him for his moment on Match of the Day is a particularly great story.

If you didn’t know, The Investors Club is a group of incredible people and businesses who have pledged to make an annual donation of £1,000 or more per-year, making a massive difference in the level of support we’re able to offer to disadvantaged youngsters in our community.

The stark reality of the cost of living crisis continues to affect many families nationwide, but particularly in areas of deprivation. In 2021 and into 2022, 30.3% of children were living in poverty in Croydon alone, that’s nearly 29,654 children, and we rely on generous donations from the Investors Club to aid south Londoners.
