Congratulatons to Mat, our Talent Acquisition Specialist at Ramsay Health Care UK who recently competed in the International LGBT Badminton Tournament (8–11 August).
This tournament brings together players from across the world, uniting people through a shared passion for sport while championing diversity, inclusion, and community.
Mat’s talent and determination shone through, securing 2nd place in the doubles category and reaching the semi-finals in both singles and mixed doubles.
Reflecting on the experience, Mat shared:
"It was such an amazing opportunity to play against people from all over the world…Also it is great making new friends and celebrating what makes us all different and unique."
The tournament created a safe, welcoming environment where athletes of all abilities and backgrounds could compete, connect, and celebrate their shared love of the game.
We’re delighted to celebrate his success and the positive message it carries — that sport can be a platform not just for competition, but also for visibility, acceptance, and belonging.
A huge congratulations to Mat on this incredible achievement!
