Hewitt recognised for driving positive change

15/11/2021

Wing Ashton Hewitt has been named one of the top 50 leading lights driving positive change by 'Kindness & Leadership'.

Kindness & Leadership is a global movement that recognises and showcases the positive impact of kindness in leadership and society.

On World Kindness Day 2021 – Saturday, November 13 – a list of the top 50 people considered to be kind leaders was officially announced.

Supported by the Saïd Business School, University of Oxford, and Financial Times, Hewitt was duly selected as one of 12 ‘Rising Stars’.

Hewitt was recognised for heading up a campaign to bring kindness into club rugby, schools and society, tackling racism and microaggressions and educating others on the importance of treating people with respect.

The Kindness & Leadership judges stated: “Ashton and Patrick Marr (Mental Skills Coach at Dragons), have spearheaded culture at Dragons, helping to create an inclusive, kind and safe space for people to be themselves.

“They have also taken on the challenge of spreading the message beyond their own club to change the culture within the game of rugby at large.

“Ashton has taken the lead on something that is already having a big impact and will change views and behaviours within rugby clubs and schools. He is a real rising star.”
