Covid-19 announcement

We continue to follow the emerging guidance on the Covid-19 virus to play our part in safeguarding public health and minimising risk. All decisions about SGA activities are being taken in line with government guidance and public health advice in order to fulfill our responsibilities for the well-being of the SGA community, our staff, partners and the wider communities that we serve. We know that we will have your full understanding on this during what is a difficult time, personally and professionally.

We have taken the decision to transfer all of our 2020 events calendar to a virtual environment and are now planning this. We will keep everyone who has registered up to date through our emails and newsletters. In addition, please check back here regularly for updates.

We are working hard to build up the resources for the SGA community to access and will continue to add these to this site as they are completed.

We wish you all good health.

Why governance matters

The Code for Sports Governance has set a new standard for the sector. It requires organisations to be open and accountable to build trust with stakeholders. Boards must set the tone for organisational culture and demonstrate effective stewardship. Done well, governance enables organisations to thrive and meet their goals. Done poorly, it leaves organisations, those who work in them and those they serve, vulnerable and at risk. So, what does good sports governance look like?
