Sport England update FAQs on return to play
Sport England, in consultation with DCMS, have answered some of the most common questions providers have regarding the return to play, in line with the Government road map.
The updated page now takes into consideration changes proposed for Monday 29 March and what that means for those providing sport and activity for communities.
A test and learn approach to systems change
Sport England, in partnership with the Chief Cultural Leisure Officers Association (CLOA), has launched a new resource, ‘Navigating Local Systems’, which shares learning and practical tools from three localities – including Wakefield in West Yorkshire.
Place-based system change is an increasingly important conversation, particularly as planning begins for the implementation of ‘Uniting The Movement’. There is a growing interest from places wanting to take a systemic approach to tackle inactivity and the inequalities that still exist.
Do you have a story to share?
The Mind Sport and Activity Network for Yorkshire and Humber are seeking stories of the role sport and activity has played in supporting good mental health.
We know that organisations across the region have used the power of sport and activity to have a positive impact on the mental health of people throughout the county, and the Network want to celebrate these in a series of videos that will be unbranded and available for everyone to use.
You don’t need to have a case study written up, simply complete a short online form by 12pm on Thursday 25 March for the story to be considered.
Female role model posters sent to primary schools for free
Social enterprise company, Totally Runable Ltd, are putting inspiring posters featuring real life female athletes in front of over 355,000 school pupils from as part of their ‘Role Models’ campaign.
The project aims to redress that balance and close what Totally Runable Ltd call the ‘Gender Sport Gap’ in primary schools.
With funding from Yorkshire Sport Foundation, Persimmon Homes, and a successful crowdfunder fundraising campaign, the first round of posters is being sent to every primary school in West Yorkshire and South Yorkshire, as well as all 200 schools who are part of Totally Runable’s ‘Girls and Sport Pledge’.
