Regional Council

England Athletics has nine Regional Councils. Each has responsibility for representing the volunteer interests of the sport, supporting the staff in their area and giving input into investment. The council is also working towards developing strong links with key partners such as County Athletics Development Groups, Sport England, Private Sector Business and other agencies. There are also a number of focus groups in the region who work to develop specific areas such as coaching, officials, road running etc – these groups are made up of key individuals plus representatives from each county in the region.
