Management and leadership programme launches The Sport and Recreation Alliance has launched a Management and Leadership Programme which aims to create opportunities for future senior leaders within the sector. As part of the development of the Alliance’s new strategy – Support. Recover. Achieve – the organisation is exploring ways in which it can support its members in the physical activity sector. Following consultation with members, it has identified a need for a tailored, dedicated
sports sector management development course to help shape and grow the next generation of senior leaders and directors in the sector. The intention is to invest in the development of colleagues who have shown the drive to be future leaders, resulting in ‘a diverse cohort of individuals who have been provided with the skills and techniques to help shape sport and recreation in the UK in the future’. The programme is principally aimed at those in
managerial roles who are looking to develop themselves and add value to their organisations. The sessions will be hosted by Amanda Bennett, a leading expert in good governance, effective leadership and inclusion. Amanda will be joined by crosssector leaders throughout the programme. • For more information visit www.sportandrecreation.org.uk/ events or use this QR code.
World’s first net zero carbon elite football match Sky have partnered with Tottenham Hotspur to host the world’s first net zero carbon football game at an elite level. The September 19 fixture between Tottenham and Chelsea, supported by COP26 and the Premier League, will be branded #GameZero, with the ambition of being net zero carbon. This is achieved when emissions are reduced as much as possible, with the remainder offset through natural projects that remove emissions from the atmosphere. Taking place six weeks ahead of the UN’s COP26 Climate Change Conference in Glasgow, Sky, Tottenham Hotspur and the UK Government want the game to raise awareness of the threat of climate change. Jonathan Licht, Managing Director, Sky Sports, said: “We hope that by using the power of sport, we can inspire and support
football fans to make simple changes to reduce their carbon footprint and make more climate-friendly choices.” Tottenham Hotspur Chairman Daniel Levy said: “We are delighted to be the chosen partner of Sky on this groundbreaking initiative that will demonstrate the role our game can play in addressing the urgent issue of climate change. As the Premier League’s greenest club, Tottenham Hotspur is passionate about our planet - we look forward to showcasing our wide range of sustainable measures that are already in place and encouraging our fans to take simple actions that can make a huge difference.” Earlier this year, Tottenham Hotspur was named the Premier League’s greenest club following a study carried out by the UNbacked Sport Positive Summit.
Bowls England – ‘Fit For The Future’ Bowls England has launched a five-year plan designed to get more people playing and enjoying bowls. Ensuring that the sport is truly accessible to all by offering different formats to suit all time constraints is a key priority, as well as ‘driving more people to clubs in new ways’. Other priorities include creating positive playing experiences for everyone who steps on the green, putting volunteers first and leading the sport with purpose by developing Governance structures. Chief Executive Jon Cockcroft said: “Any person, regardless of background, postcode, physicality or bank balance can enjoy bowls. “Our ultimate goal is, through this strategy, to see one million people a year playing bowls at one of our incredible 2,000 clubs across the country by 2026.” The full strategy is available at www.bowlsengland.com or use this QR Code.
Going green with Glenfiddich Glenfiddich has launched a pioneering ‘closed loop’ sustainable transport initiative that will make it the first global spirits brand to run its delivery fleet on green biogas made from the residues of its own distilling process. Using a unique technology developed by its parent company William Grant & Sons, the Glenfiddich distillery at Dufftown in north-eastern Scotland converts its production wastes and residues into an Ultra-Low Carbon Fuel (ULCF) gas that produces minimal carbon dioxide and other harmful emissions. Each truck will displace up to 250 tonnes of CO2e annually, which has the same environmental benefit as planting up to 4,000 trees every year. Stuart Watts, William Grant & Sons’ distilleries director, said: “William Grant & Sons has been a pioneering distiller for more than 130 years, always exploring new processes and techniques to create sustainable benefits for our business and communities. We are proud of these renewable energy breakthroughs in our industry as we scale up the de-carbonising benefits of this closed-loop process across our entire transport fleet.” • Full story available at www.clubmirror.com or use this QR code.
