This interactive tool lets you explore how you can interact with us and the wider UK Sports Governance Community to excel in your role and advance your professional development.
The SGA provides a trusted set of free resources that support all areas of governance activity. Our guidance, templates, checklists, webinars and blogs are designed to help you get to grips with governance and drive success in your organisation.
Our practical training will build your governance skills and confidence.
Our community is an active network of like-minded people who are facing similar governance challenges and opportunities in the sport sector. Being part of it enables you to draw upon the support and experience of others and creates new opportunities for collaboration.
We see governance not as a burden, but as an enabler of your organisation's performance.
Done well, governance can help you to thrive and meet your goals, be open and accountable and build trust with your stakeholders. Done poorly, it leaves organisations, those who work in them and those they serve, vulnerable and at risk.
