Overall reactions from the delegates:

“The feeling of CSPs and SEWM as one unit”
“Best Sport England event I’ve been to”


From planning to delivery this conference was a team effort which captured and rekindled the spirit of ‘Team West Midlands’. Special thanks go to all of the members of the Conference Steering Group, the two MCs, the conference speakers, the trainers and contributors for the personal development workshops and the facilitators and experts of the action learning groups. The conference was made special by the creative performances of each of the core teams from the County Sports Partnerships and Sport England’s West Midlands Regional Office in portraying their success stories and challenges ahead. Such collective effort demonstrates the strength of partnership working within the Region and the depth and breadth of talent available to draw upon.
