    Place partnerships

    Mentoring designed for groups of leaders from Sport England System Partners to share their own experiences and perspectives, and learn from others’ lived and professional experiences to navigate personal challenges faced when tackling inequalities. Explore more on group mentoring. 

    These group mentoring sessions will be hosted by Claire Beney, Strategic Director at Active Devon, and focus on working within, alongside or as part of a Place Partnership – where to focus your energy, how to engage and how to embed change. There will be 3 two hour sessions for these group discussions.

    Youth Leadership, Skills Development and Pathways to Opportunity

    How can we create more opportunities for young people — particularly those currently underrepresented — to develop essential skills and progress into volunteering, training and employment?

    As part of our System Partner work with Sport England, Leadership Skills Foundation would like to bring together CYP, Workforce and Place colleagues from Active Partnerships to explore this question, share learning and hear examples of local delivery.

    The session will consider the role that youth leadership and essential skills can play in supporting the ambitions of Uniting the Movement and local Place Plans — particularly in creating opportunities for young people who are currently underrepresented.
