Building on the huge amount of progress made since the 2021 Convention, this year’s event will focus on ‘Mobilising the Movement’, exploring key themes, the perspectives of key partners and identifying the collaborative action that will support sustainable and transformational change. The drive, commitment and unity is as strong as ever and we see this year’s Convention as an opportunity to both harness and accelerate the collective potential.    

It’s now just over a year since Sport England launched ‘Uniting the Movement’ and since then Active Partnerships and an ever-increasing number of partners have collaborated to overcome both stubborn and new challenges*. New ways of working and innovative approaches are being explored and implemented to address the issues still faced by some communities. 

*Covid-19 continues to challenge the norm, inequalities still remain, the economy is still challenging, societal changes present new challenges, and physical and mental health issues are still of huge concern.

Over the two weeks there will be a variety of interactive and thought provoking sessions, some that should appeal to the whole movement and others that might be targeted at particular colleagues.

We look forward to you joining us and we’re excited about what we can achieve together!
