Training and Workshops
About
We deliver practical, interactive training and workshops to help sports clubs strengthen their governance, improve financial sustainability, and build long-term resilience. Drawing on years of experience working with grassroots and professional clubs across the UK, our workshops combine expert advice with real-world examples. Each session provides practical tools and resources that committees can use straight away.

Each workshop lasts 90 minutes, includes a Q&A session, and can be delivered either online (Zoom/Microsoft Teams) or face-to-face. We adapt delivery to suit the needs of your club, whether that’s weekday evenings, weekends, or during the day. Clubs also receive resource packs and templates linked to the workshop to support learning after the session.

Trustee/Director Training
Aimed at trustees, directors, and committee members, this workshop explains roles, responsibilities, and legal duties in plain language. It ensures your leaders understand their obligations and equips them with best practice tools for effective governance.
Legal Structures and Charitable Status for Sports Clubs
Choosing the right legal structure can feel overwhelming. This session walks through all the main options, including CLGs, CICs, CBSs, SCIOs, and CASCs, explaining the benefits and limitations of each. It also covers when charitable status may be the best fit.
Funding, Fundraising & Gift Aid for Sports Clubs
Funding is the lifeblood of sports clubs. This practical session explores ways to increase income through fundraising, grant applications, and Gift Aid. Clubs will leave with implementable strategies to grow revenue and build financial resilience.
Community Asset Transfers
As opportunities for long-term leases and facility ownership grow, this workshop explains what a Community Asset Transfer is, how the process works, and what’s required for success. We’ll demystify the complexities and show how clubs can put down secure roots.
What Does a Well-Governed Sports Club Look Like?
Governance underpins everything a club does. This interactive session explores the principles of good governance, leadership, and accountability, and uses real scenarios to test decision-making. Clubs will understand how to build structures and processes that support sustainability.
Compliance & Risk Management
Compliance is essential for protecting clubs, committees, and volunteers. This workshop covers the key risks facing sports clubs — from safeguarding and data protection to financial compliance — and provides tools to help clubs manage and mitigate risks effectively.
