Navigating Local Systems: A mini-revolution in Wakefield

The Navigating Local Systems (NLS) work began in the autumn of 2019 and sits alongside the work of Sport England's Local Delivery Pilots. This episode focuses on that work in Wakefield.

NLS helps people and organisations to better understand and connect local systems through developing their knowledge, skills and capacity to drive the change needed to increase physical activity within local communities where the need is the greatest. 

We go through the approach taken so far:

·         Doing things differently

·         Positivity and energy building

·         All leading together

·         We're more connected

·         Learning new skills and approaches together

·         Collaboration is important
