Welcome to the latest edition of the Sporting Equals e-zine. As we continue to champion equity, inclusion, and representation across sport and physical activity, we are excited to shine a spotlight on our upcoming flagship event, The Starting Blocks – Setting the Pace on Race Equity in Sport Conference 2026.

This landmark conference will bring together leaders, practitioners, researchers, policymakers, athletes, and organisations from across the sport and physical activity sector to explore how we can collectively accelerate progress on race equity. Through thought-provoking keynote speakers, engaging panel discussions, practical workshops, and valuable networking opportunities, the conference will provide a platform for sharing insight, challenging perspectives, and driving meaningful action. The conference is designed for anyone committed to creating a more inclusive sporting landscape and will showcase innovative approaches, best practice, and lived experiences that are helping to shape a fairer future for sport.

Alongside preparations for the conference, Sporting Equals continues to deliver impactful programmes and initiatives that support diverse communities and develop the next generation of leaders.

We remain committed to working collaboratively with partners across the sector to remove barriers and create opportunities for all.
