Next Forum Meeting Wednesday, 4 November – Be great to see you.
Our next Forum meeting – 4 November
Our next Forum meeting will be held on 4 November, and Wimborne Town Football Club have very kindly agreed to host us.
The timings will be as usual: 6.30pm for a 7.00pm start, with the formal part of the meeting expected to finish at around 8.15pm, leaving time for informal conversations afterwards.
Fuller details will be sent to you in the coming weeks. We are hoping that we will be in a position to begin exploring at least one of the challenges that have been identified around teenage participation and mental health in sport and active leisure settings.
The aim will be to consider how, by working together through the Forum, we might be able to address some of the issues and challenges in these areas and learn from each other.
We very much hope you will be able to join us.
