I’m here to be your voice, listen to your concerns, ideas and help share the magnificent work you do in the sector!

I also want to remind you all that the date for entering the Community and Sport Recreation Awards has been extended to 7^th May, which is rapidly approaching! These awards have been celebrating the great work at a grassroots level for over two decades and they are free and quick to enter. There are five categories with £5000 worth of prize money up for grabs – check them out and get yourself entered.

Finally, a reminder that the 2017 Sports Summit takes place on 24 May at the Emirates Stadium in London. This annual event brings the sector together to discuss issues that affect the sport and recreation sector. We will be asking if we are actively embracing diversity, are we safe and inclusive so that everyone is encouraged to be more active, and do we have the right skills in place and the desire to change? The full programme is available here and spaces are filling up so if you would like to join in on the conversation please book your ticket here.

Keep an eye out for me at all the events we have coming up, I look forward to meeting you soon.
