A Quick Recap

The main aim of the programme is to provide support to those within the Sport Leisure and Physical industry seeking to improve themselves personally and professionally. The offering is split into the following three categories:

1. A free foundation training offer

2. Sign posting to further training opportunities 

3. Access to a training bursary scheme

Whilst the programme is open to all individuals who live, work and study in Westminster, we do prioritise staff and volunteers who work with an ActiveWestminster Mark accredited organisation as well as those who face considerable cultural and socio-economic barriers to personal and professional development.
