What we do
Defining objectives to align with appropriate policies
When creating a sports development initiative, it can be important to be mindful of the policies of potential funding partners. Our services can help you to align appropriately and identify potential partners that you may not have considered.
Support with bid writing and grant applications
Often, there are worthy projects that should receive support, but where the volunteers involved do not have available time, resources or experience to put together a strong funding application. We can help.
High Performance strategies
Our staff are working with national governing bodies across the world and with performance athletes competing in World Championships and Olympic Games. The efforts of these coaches and athletes need to be underpinned by robust policies and frameworks that are rigorously costed to ensure a significant return on the investment. Talk to us if you want help to understand how to develop and assure your performance environment.
Developing participation initiatives
Getting more people, more active, more often is a constant challenge for the sector. Our experience of strategies that work, building on academic expertise in behaviour change could be just what you need.
Educational Workshops
Group or team workshops can be implemented to deliver topics such as:
- Market segmentation
- Bid writing
- Interpreting and applying policy
Prices for these workshops can be discussed on an individual basis depending on your requirements.
