Exploring representation of the global majority in leadership for movement, in Greater Manchester
We are hosting a personal development offer on behalf of 10GM, in partnership with GM Moving, for 15 people from global majority backgrounds to explore the lack of representation in leadership in the sports and physical activity sector in a safe, protected space.
Background
There is a lack of racial diversity in leadership in the sports and physical activity sector in Greater Manchester. Equalities data from leadership programmes led by GM Moving, us, and others indicate that there is a lack of people from racially minoritised backgrounds involved in leadership opportunities. This leads to a lack of voice and representation for these groups.
We want to create more spaces for people to connect and explore how to challenge the barriers that exist in the system to grow the voice and representation for people from global majority groups in decision-making spaces.
For more context, see our blog post ‘Unlocking Leadership Potential in Greater Manchester: Advancing Racial Equity in the Sport and Physical Activity Workforce’
This is not a formal learning or leadership programme. Leadership programmes such as GMCA’s We Lead for Legacy: 2025 Greater Manchester Civic Leadership programme and Sporting Equals’ Leaderboard programme already exist. This opportunity is informed by learning from these and 10GM’s VCSE Workforce Development emerging leader's programme.
We are instead offering a chance to explore and connect with a group of people with similar goals and create space to think about your place and role in local influencing.
The aim is to foster a network of developing leaders who are committed to inclusivity and who can influence decision-making at all levels of the sports and physical activity ecosystem.
