We're proud to have partnered with some fantastic organisations to explore, test and learn new ways to support innovation across our sector.
Over the past few years, we’ve been part of some exciting programmes focused on helping organisations build confidence and capability in applying innovation and digital to address inequalities in sport and physical activity.
Here’s a snapshot of some of this work. Take a look and, if you have any questions, please get in touch with the team.
As part of our response to the coronavirus (Covid-19) pandemic, in 2020 we launched our Innovation Open Call – a programme aimed at finding innovative solutions to reducing inequalities and to help those most affected by the impact of the pandemic to get active. We offered the selected organisations a wide range of financial and non-financial support to help their solutions thrive.

The programme supported 22 National Governing Bodies (NGBs) involved in the Games to develop innovative solutions using digital, data and design. This contributed to creating the Commonwealth Games legacy.
