Sport England has launched the Leading the Movement programme to support and develop a more diverse network of leaders working to tackle inequalities in sport and physical activity.
The £5 million National Lottery-funded programme aims to address the need for better representation and support among leaders from under-represented backgrounds.
The programme aims to:
- Understand the challenges faced by sector leaders working to tackle inequalities, and explore solutions through engagement, training, coaching and mentoring
- Better connect leaders and encourage the exchange of information, ideas and learning
- Provide targeted support to under-represented leaders, and leaders working with under-served communities
It offers a range of development opportunities, including coaching, mentoring, peer learning, and place-based leadership courses, to help participants better understand and overcome the challenges they face. Participants will also have access to practical resources such as webinars, case studies, and newsletters.
The programme is aimed at individuals of all levels, whether paid or volunteer, in formal or informal roles, who are helping people to be active in places with limited opportunities.
The programme will run until March 2029.
Those interested are encouraged to register for updates.
