The first Youth Advisory Group meeting of the year took place recently. The group welcomed new members from across the UK, keeping strong connections with neighbouring National Governing Bodies to ensure the Group is represented across the UK to promote the work members do within the sport, and also the awareness of the group throughout the UK.

In April and May England Athletics held consultation meetings around the country. After a lot of interesting and useful discussions we have used what we have learned to develop the an online survey so that we can better understand the views of registered athletes, representatives of member clubs, volunteers and everyone who cares about the future of the sport.
