Idea 7: Sport and activity training for community leaders

The people who work and volunteer in the provision of sport and activity opportunities often do not reflect the diversity of the communities that they work in. This means that experiences can end up being designed by, and for, the same types of people for generations. Others are excluded because of a gap in experience and empathy. 

The idea is to reach out to people who are already active in their communities at a grassroot level and offer incentivised training to run sport and activity experiences. This would identify and upskill those people who are already connected and trusted in communities. This idea would focus on showing how movement, sport and activity could be integrated into the aims and purpose of community groups e.g. can help with loneliness, youth engagement, skills development, etc.
