Reimagining Sport: New Models for Impact, Inclusion and Growth

Standort noch nicht angegeben

An in-person panel exploring how innovation can make UK sport more inclusive, impactful and sustainable

Across the UK, the way sport is funded and delivered is under strain. Costs are rising, participation among the least active has barely shifted in years, and many local clubs and community groups are finding it harder to operate. At the same time, sport has never had greater potential to improve health, drive social inclusion and boost economic growth.

Join us for an in-person panel discussion bringing together leaders at the forefront of change in UK sport. We’ll explore how innovation, collaboration and new models can unlock sport’s full potential to create lasting social and economic impact.
