Exciting new chapter ahead... the countdown continues!
Reflecting on where the organisation has been is so interesting and has really helped inform where we are going as an organisation. Some more important dates that have been identified include:
2004 - the British Sports Trust transformed into Sports Leaders UK, marking a major milestone in our mission to empower young people through sport and physical activity. This transformation allowed us to focus on partnering with centres to develop specific leadership skills in young individuals through sport. By rebranding, we made our qualifications, like the Community Sports Leaders Award, even stronger, reaching more centres and learners with a clear vision and mission.
2007 - we proudly celebrated over 1,000,000 sports leaders with over 90,000 new learners taking on our qualifications every year.
With this success we could have stuck with a winning formula and just continued doing what we were doing.
However, seeing the incredible benefits that leadership skills brought to our learners, we aimed to expand our impact. We introduced leadership programmes in foreign languages, maths and literacy as well as delivering funded programmes that worked directly with primary schools.
Through our Energy Club initiative, we inspired and engaged younger learners, introducing them to the world of leadership and an active lifestyle.
We've always been ambitious in finding innovative ways to support more young people. Our belief that leadership skills can transform lives and bring communities closer together has always been at the heart of our organisation.
As we approach an exciting landmark in our journey this August and embrace something new, we continue to emphasize the importance and impact of our qualifications and awards.
Only a week to go and the more I look at the journey the more our next chapter makes sense as we embark on these exciting changes.
