With a deep passion for community service and a strong commitment to providing opportunities for disadvantaged groups, Nader has been instrumental in shaping the organization’s mission. Coming from an underprivileged background, Nader personally experienced the barriers that prevent access to sports and community engagement. This fuelled his desire to create an organization that would provide the opportunities he once lacked. In 2017, alongside his business partner, Nader founded the One Culture Group, a not-for-profit social enterprise dedicated to making a positive impact in people’s lives through sports, individualized support, and building social connections. One Culture’s programs are inclusive of all ages, cultures, and abilities. Seven years later, the work continues to grow. The impact has broadened, and the need for inclusive services is greater than ever. Nader’s vision to provide access and create positive change remains at the heart of One Culture’s mission." 💡 Don’t miss the chance to hear from Nader and our other incredible panellists about scaling businesses for good on Friday 6th December, 12-2pm.
