BASIS (The British Association for Sustainable Sport) and Community Leisure UK (CLUK) have entered into a partnership to implement sustainable development principles and environmental management practices in community sports, physical activity and leisure facilities.
As part of the new collaboration, they will be raising awareness of sustainability principles in sport and leisure, and support providers in implementing these principles, addressing barriers, and sharing best practice management.
Sharing their resources, members of CLUK will be able to access support from BASIS through an Associate Membership and receive discounts on valuable environmental awareness training. Equally, CLUK will be inviting BASIS to their events and provide insights on the workings of the public leisure sector.
Together, they will be creating new resources for the public leisure and sport sector to support operators in becoming more environmentally conscious.
“This partnership forms a logical next step for us as a membership body, having recently produced our Climate Change Action Plan and briefing on how leisure and culture trusts can tackle the climate change emergency. Being able to tap into the knowledge and expertise from BASIS will allow us progress this work and provide proactive support to leisure- and culture trusts up and down the country,” said Kirsty Cummings, CEO at Community Leisure UK.
