The Leap partner forum is a networking and collaboration event taking place three times a year.
It brings together partners from across physical activity, sport, health, leisure, community development and other sectors and focuses on topics where physical activity and sport can add value.
Each forum is themed around a challenge or topic that affects Buckinghamshire and Milton Keynes residents and where physical activity and sport can have a direct impact. We bringing together expert speakers and examples of practices from both in and outside of the county its the ideal place to learn, share and collaborate.
The theme for our June forum is Stories of Change: bringing to life how system change is happening now, to inspire and create the conditions for more!
Don’t just take our word for it! Here’s what attendees at our forum on February said:
“Very inclusive and a buzz about all things physical activity”
“The table topics were valuable both personally and in terms of work”
“Topics were relevant and made really good connections during the event”
