A National Governing Body CEO Forum has been launched, to act as an independent voice to influence national and local policy making on sport in England.
Chaired by Adrian Christy, Chief Executive of Badminton England, the Forum includes chief executives from 39 National Governing Bodies (NGBs), including GBWR’s Chief Executive David Pond.
To promote the work of their governing bodies the Forum have released a report titled ‘The State of Play’, which highlights their impact in 2014. The impact of these NGBs is summarised in the below infographic.
With the General Election set to be held in May and sport funding set to be an issue for political parties to consider the report aims to highlight the appeal of sport to the public and encourage them to continue their support and funding of the NGBs. The Forum plan to meet every six weeks and say they will consider possible responses to political parties’ manifestos when they are published next month.
Inside the Games have published an in-depth article covering the Forum here, and you can also read the full report here.
