We are delighted to announce that we are one of 36 organisations taking part in the innovative Leading for Renewal (LFR) programme. Now in its second year, LFR is a year long inclusion and diversity initiative, made possible by a partnership between Sport England and Inclusive Employers.

LFR has been designed for Sport England partners to help them meet the aspirations of Sport England's 10-year strategy, 'Uniting the Movement', which aims to transform lives and communities through sport and physical activity.

As the UK's leading experts in Inclusion & Diversity, Inclusive Employers are the perfect partner to deliver this programme. LFR has been considerately designed to embed inclusion and diversity into the core functions and corporate priorities of participating organisations, and on a wider platform contribute and underpin their Diversity and Inclusion Action Plans.

This goal is realised through LFR's three different programme tiers – Inclusive Leaders (for CEOs or equivalent), Inclusive Enablers (for Senior Managers), and Inclusive Influencers (for the wider workforce).

Each tier comprises webinars, events, toolkits and resources to support inclusion activity. The core messages and content are common across all three tiers but tailored to the specific roles and level of influence of participants and focused on delivering real inclusion progress at every level.

We are excited to participate in LFR because it supports our goals to improve our awareness and understanding of diversity and inclusion. Through this programme we hope to achieve our plans to thread inclusion into all our core functions and corporate priorities and build the understanding and capacity needed to develop a strong and meaningful Diversity and Inclusion Action Plan (DIAP).
