Our Journey Begins
Our journey began in March 2020. We carried out an Equality review which included an equality survey of our sport.
The findings were presented to the board and became the foundations for our Equality Action Plan.

Equality Action Plan Created
The research we compiled enabled us to draft our Equality Action Plan. We encouraged people from across our sport, including our staff, clubs, and individual members, to get involved and feed into our plan.
It outlines a range of steps we will take over the next four years to address the challenges facing our sport and ensure we have a more diverse community enjoying our sport.
