What we learnt from our approach to the Together Fund
Charlotte Ellis, Ed Montague (both Yorkshire Sport Founation) chat with Kris Mackay (Founder of Growing Circles) about the YSF approach to engaging with community groups as part of the Together Fund.
The Together Fund was a continuation of the Tackling Inequalities Fund that was set up in April 2020 as part of Sport England's support package to help the sport and physical activity sector through the coronavirus (Covid-19) crisis.
It saw another £20 million of National Lottery funding committed to help the groups disproportionately affected by the pandemic and it was significantly impacting their ability to be physically active.

Navigating Local Systems: A mini-revolution in Wakefield
The Navigating Local Systems (NLS) work began in the autumn of 2019 and sits alongside the work of Sport England's Local Delivery Pilots. This episode focuses on that work in Wakefield.
NLS helps people and organisations to better understand and connect local systems through developing their knowledge, skills and capacity to drive the change needed to increase physical activity within local communities where the need is the greatest.
We go through the approach taken so far:
· Doing things differently
· Positivity and energy building
· All leading together
· We're more connected
· Learning new skills and approaches together
· Collaboration is important
