Sir Keith Mills visits Coventry sported. Members

To showcase the achievements of sported.'s Coventry based pilot project Sir Keith Mills visited the West Midlands to meet with local organisations.

The event took place at sported. member Coventry Boys Club and was attended by seven Coventry based organisations who have been receiving Mentor-led capacity building support and by current and future Volunteer Mentors.

The event provided Sir Keith with the opportunity to hear about the work of sported. Members and how they are benefiting from the support provided. Members were also asked to give advice on the current and future work of sported., with the provision of insurance and support in accessing volunteers being hot topics of discussion.

As part of the event Coventry Boys Club and Salle Ursa Fencing Club provided sporting displays showing the activities they use to engage with disaffected and disabled young people.
