Led by eight young changemakers (aged 18-25), the project brought together ethnically diverse communities and underrepresented groups and empowered them to lead the research through youth voice.
As a result, they developed a framework, created to build inclusive cultures within NGBs and deepen understanding about the barriers young people face in sport governance.
Meet the Changemakers:
As Changemakers we are motivated to have our voices heard to tackle the racism we have experienced in our own lives to bring about long-term change, educating others to increase the voice of under-represented young people from ethnically diverse communities.
