Our Governance
Sports Partnership Herefordshire and Worcestershire trading as Active Herefordshire and Worcestershire is a registered charity (charity no. 1184297) and a company limited by guarantee (company no. 08822764) trading since 1st April 2015.
We have a board of 8 skilled, committed and enthusiastic board members along with a highly experienced and energetic team. We take our role as the local lead for Sport and Physical Activity seriously and ensure that our governance arrangements are in order.
Sport England's new Code for Sports Governance sets out the levels of transparency, accountability and financial integrity expected from sports bodies seeking public funding, of which we are one.
The code requires the following to be publicly available:
