Xavier is passionate about harnessing the power of sport to drive positive change in communities. That drive has already seen food for six million meals, 3,400 laptops and thousands of items of furniture provided to people in need by Dons Local Action, which Xavier co-founded. The multi-award-winning scheme, which is linked to AFC Wimbledon, was named Best Community Football Project in Britain.

Xavier founded Sport Local Action driven by his profound belief in the transformational power of sport. He is creating a vibrant ecosystem where volunteers can collaborate and thrive, cultivating links between sports clubs and charities to address social challenges and empower communities.

With his passion for community development and relentless commitment to making a difference, Xavier is dedicated to building a brighter future through the unifying power of sport. Xavier was awarded the British Empire Medal in the Queen’s Birthday Honours List in 2021.
