The SGA Board Development Fund enables organisations operating in the sport and physical activity sector in the United Kingdom to access - free of charge - development training for their board members which can be customised, if required, and delivered in-house (either in-person or online). It allows organisations successful in the application process to identify areas of need or areas of particular focus for them which are not catered for by existing training provision.

The fund provides the flexibility to meet the needs of organisations with different requirements for their board's development and to provide training support in specific areas of governance.

The fund is limited and applications will be assessed against specified criteria, which include the specific need answered, the benefit to the organisation and the organisation’s access to paid-for training. Priority will be given to organisations that would otherwise be unable to obtain the requested training due to financial constraints.

Kicking off our 'Focus on Boardroom Diversity' series, Aurelia Deflandre's first of three pieces on neuroinclusion presents an introduction to neurodiversity, looks at why it is an important consideration for boards and suggests ways in which board recruitment can be made more neuroinclusive.  

In her second blog on creating neuroinclusive boards, Aurelia Deflandre looks at why some neurodivergent board members can find it difficult to feel heard in the boardroom and suggests some simple ways to ensure they are part of the conversation.

In the final instalment of her three-part series, Aurelia Deflandre looks at how board practices seen through a neuroinclusive lens can ensure that different viewpoints are heard and that decision making and oversight are strengthened.
