The Coronavirus pandemic has changed our world, the most vulnerable people have been hardest hit.
As we recover we have an opportunity to reset and re-boot and build back better than before. We need something new; something new to help engage and re-engage our children and young people in sport; something new to provide more opportunities for our communities to participate in sport; and something new to help people to keep coming back to our sports. Let’s not leave anyone behind, let’s try something new and share our solutions to support sport to Build Back Better.

What is Innovation & Creativity?
Innovation is about creating new ideas, and effective projects, programmes and club offering. It is about translating ideas into actions – adding value for your members and potential new members, which in turn helps your club be more resilient, sustainable and viable.
Take a look at this from MySueño (a sports health and marketing agency)
“…Because life is like a bicycle, you have to keep moving to keep your balance.
We believe that innovation is the only way forward.
Learning is the only way to stay ahead.
And actually doing things the only way to learn.”
“The purpose of innovation is to win new customers, new markets or new products …innovation should become a mentality, being a main driver of business growth.”
