Sport England launch Leading the Movement website to support sector leaders

Leading the Movement, funded by The National Lottery, is a Sport England programme designed for and with leaders. It aims to create a diverse, thriving community of leaders who are supported, empowered, skilled and united in the movement to tackle inequalities in sport and physical activity. 

'If you’re working to tackle inequalities in sport and physical activity, or you support the people that do, then you’re part of Leading the Movement.'

The Co-Design Group including our Tahir Akram is made up of sector leaders who are actively engaged in making a difference, creating change and opening-up opportunities for everyone to live active lives.

YSF's Development Manager for Bradford Tahir Akram is on the group and said: "We've been working on our Lead the Change programme locally, and delighted to see Sport England showing such long term commitment to making the leadership of the future more diverse."

The website has helpful information and resources designed to support leaders at every stage of their journey. For some, it will aid learning and development, for others it will act as a helpful check and challenge of what they’re already doing and an opportunity to get and stay connected. 

The site is aimed at supporting sector leaders to confidently and successfully drive the change needed to tackle inequalities in sport and physical activity, and achieve the ambitions of Uniting the Movement.

It will share inspirational stories and ideas, showcase what’s going on across the sector and signpost to opportunities and organisations that can help continue to build networks.
