EmmaB

I am pleased to officially launch our new Sport and Recreation Alliance website.

This new website is part of a strategic move to make sure we continue to build on the successes of the past few years and make it easier for us to provide you with the resources and information you need more quickly.  The new streamlined site will still contain all of the industry news, blogs and opinion pieces you value but make it easier to for you to find what you are looking for.

You are reading this welcome from your new member’s only section. Over time we will be developing this dedicated area as an online resource of expertise and guidance, as well as giving you a private forum to swap ideas and promote best practice.

The new website has been created with the principles of Sport England’s high performing National Governing Body model in mind so will really put us in a strong position to help you tackle both your biggest opportunities and challenges.  The coming year will continue to be a challenge and our more efficient website will help keep the sport and recreation sector fit for the future.  

We will be working harder than ever to make sure you have what you need to meet the new outcomes from Sporting Future. This new strategy is redefining what success looks like in sport and recreation and making it easier for you to access the services you need, will mean your organisation is able to stay on track.
