A community-led space to share local insight, build connections and help shape future opportunities in your neighbourhood.

Sport England Place Expansion Programme

Help Shape What Comes Next

Over the last six months, we've heard incredible ideas, identified local strengths and built new relationships across our neighbourhoods. As we move into the next stage of the programme, we're creating Neighbourhood Co-Design Spaces to ensure that local people, organisations and communities play a central role in shaping what comes next.

These spaces are for residents, community groups, voluntary organisations, local businesses, services and partners who care about their neighbourhood and want to help create positive change.

What is a Neighbourhood Co-Design Space?

A welcoming and informal space where people can:

Share local insight and lived experience

Explore opportunities, ideas and challenges

Connect with others who are active in the community

Identify shared priorities for the neighbourhood

Influence future activity, investment and opportunities

Help shape the future of the area

These are not steering groups for a programme. They are neighbourhood spaces designed to support communities in shaping their own future.

Who Should Atttend

Local residents

Community and voluntary groups

Faith organisations

Sports clubs and physical activity providers

Schools and education partners

Health and wellbeing organisations

Businesses and employers

Anyone with a passion for improving their neighbourhood

Whether you're already active in the community or simply interested in getting involved, your voice matters.

Why Get Involved?

This is an opportunity to build relationships, share ideas, influence local decisions and help create lasting change in your neighbourhood. Together, we can build on existing strengths, create new opportunities and ensure communities are at the heart of shaping their future.

If you're unable to attend, please feel free to share this event with colleagues, residents, community groups or organisations who may be interested in joining the conversation.
