Case Study

Improving the inclusion of disabled people in paddlesports

We worked with British Canoeing to help improve the offer for disabled people in paddlesports. This included extensive research of the current offer, collecting insight from various avenues, understanding the reasons for non-participation and building an inclusion strategy looking ahead.

Our expertise in ED&I, Research and Strategy development aided in this successful execution of this project.

Case Study
Boccia England Logo

Boccia England – Supporting their journey of organisation development.

We initially supported Boccia England to better understand their infrastructure and workforce through a mapping project.

We then supported the Boccia England Board to form their new strategy. This involved stakeholder consultation, a review of insight and facilitated sessions to guide decision making. The outcome was an agreed 10-year strategy on a page, detailed strategy, 10-year operational plan, and detailed year 1 delivery plan. 

Further to this, we also supported them with their first stage of their people planning - focused on their internal infrastructure, aligning it to their new strategy.


"Sports Structures were instrumental in helping us shape our long term strategic plan. Rebecca and the team were able to identify key themes provide steer in tackling challenging questions that needed to be explored by Board and staff."
