The Sport England Chief Executive Tim Hollingsworth has called on everyone involved in sport and physical activity to play their part in driving racism out of the sector.
Speaking as part of a panel at the ‘Time for action: Tackling racism in sport’ conference, the chief executive outlined some of the progress that had been made over the last four years, but admitted there was still much to do to tackle the deep-rooted issues that impact many people’s experiences of playing sport and being physically active.
Hundreds of delegates from across the sport and physical activity sector attended the conference, which was run in conjunction with UK Sport and the other home nation sports councils.
Held at the Mattioli Woods Welford Road stadium, home of the Premiership Rugby team Leicester Tigers, and live streamed for those unable to attend in person, the event brought people together from across the sector to drive forward our anti-racism work.
