Since the AGM and looking forward

Hi everyone, We wanted to take this opportunity to share a quick but important update on what your Charity Board has been working on since the AGM – and what’s coming next!  

Our First Meeting (July 2nd):

We kicked things off by setting up the basics—like how we will communicate, manage meetings, manage risk and update the Charity Commission. We are working on a framework of objectives together which will be reviewed at the next meeting. 

We are moving fast on our strategy to challenge the lead ban which you will already have seen the first elements of. The full strategy will be on the agenda for the next meeting and will be shared shortly afterwards. So watch this space. 

Most importantly, we’ve mapped out a timeline for the upcoming Sports Council elections 

Your Input Matters- Sports council elections. 

Before these  elections, we will ask for YOUR feedback on key goals for the Charity Board and Sports Council. This is your chance to shape our priorities—stay tuned for details!
