Inclusive Employers 
Leading for Renewal
Inclusive Employers is working with Sport England to deliver a one-year Leading for Renewal Programme open to Sport England funded NGBs, Active Partnerships and other Partners.
Leading for Renewal has been carefully designed to support organisations to thread inclusion into all their core functions and corporate priorities. The programme has been built to support the aspirations of Sport England’s Uniting the Movement strategy and to build the understanding and capacity needed to develop a strong and meaningful Diversity and Inclusion Action Plan (DIAP).
The Programme (now in its second year) is being offered at no charge and anyone from an eligible organisation can apply for a place.
There are three separate programme tiers, all delivered virtually, that target different segments of the workforce within your organisation, which can be explored below.

Feedback from the first year has been incredibly positive with participants reporting substantial increases in their organisation’s commitment to inclusivity and their confidence and competence with respect to the programme learning outcomes:
“The Leading for Renewal programme has been a significant vehicle for change. I would say as an organisation and as an individual, going from unconsciously to consciously putting inclusion on the agenda of everything we do.”
“The single biggest change is that everybody is talking about it and working on it. And I feel much more liberated, empowered and informed, to do it. We’re all on a journey where we’re learning more and more.”
