To build on the work of The Active Best Practice Network podcast series, we are planning a trio of free webinars, taking place in September December and February 2026. In these webinars we will be inviting local experts to share some best practice guidance, tips and resources with a short Q&A for attendees. These are aimed at sport and physical activity groups, the community or VCSE sector, plus anyone within our network who could benefit.
