Welcome to CIMSPA’s 2022-23 Annual report, where we highlight some of our key projects and initiatives that have benefitted our members and our partners. More broadly, we have also tracked the impact that these initiatives have had on the sport and physical activity workforce and sector over the last year.

During the last 12 months, we have seen the impact of the Covid-19 pandemic receding, but leaving behind challenges for the nation’s health, wellbeing and finances. At CIMSPA, we have tried to alleviate some of these more immediate pressures for those working in sport and physical activity, whilst looking to the future and continuing to build on our work to meet the needs of the sector, and the nation at large.

We are proud to have made real progress in many areas, from local delivery, to support projects for individuals, supporting the community and those organisations and people who work within it.

We have also included CIMSPA’s 2022-23 Annual Governance Review, published in line with the UK Sport and Sport England Code for Sports Governance and the Charity Governance Code.

Our goal as the single chartered professional body for sport and physical activity is to prioritise the highest governance standards and to embody exemplar organisational behaviours, as we build a recognised and respected profession for the sector’s workforce.

This governance review demonstrates our commitment to transparency and acts as a marker that can be used to track our future progress on key metrics such as equality, diversity and the work of our boards, panels and committees.
