Sport England

Sport England is a public body and invests more than £300 million of National Lottery and government money each year in projects and programmes that help people get active and play sport.

It wants everyone in England, regardless of age, background, or level of ability, to feel able to engage in sport and physical activity. That’s why a lot of its work is specifically focused on helping people who do no, or very little, physical activity and groups who are typically less active - like women, disabled people and people on lower incomes.

The Sport and Recreation Alliance

The Sport and Recreation Alliance believes that the power of sport and recreation can change lives and bring communities together. Together with our members and in partnership with the wider sector, we make the most of opportunities and tackle the areas that provide a challenge.

We provide advice, support and guidance to our members and the sector, who represent traditional governing bodies of games and sport, county sports partnerships, outdoor recreation, water pursuits, and movement and dance exercise.

As the voice of the sector, we work with Government, policy makers and the media to make sure grassroots sport and recreation grows and thrives. Having an active nation is important as it delivers huge benefits to society and the millions of participants, volunteers, staff and spectators.

The Talent Arc

The Talent Arc is a Community Interest Company delivering two social-impact programmes that connect young people from diverse and socially disadvantaged backgrounds with industry professionals. Our work creates clear pathways into the PR, marketing and communications sectors, while bringing fresh talent and perspectives into the industry.

Partner Benefits

Talent Arc offers partner organisations a compelling proposition that combines social purpose with measurable business value:

  • Tailored support: Programmes aligned to specific HR, EDI and talent-development goals

  • End-to-end delivery: We manage schedules, content planning and event logistics

  • Enhanced visibility: Partner brands gain recognition with students and returners, as well as senior professionals, founders and industry leaders who actively engage with the programmes

  • Proven track record: Partners include Havas, VCCP, Rail Delivery Group and West Ham United Football Club

As a Community Interest Company, all funding is reinvested into future cohorts, ensuring long-term sustainability and a clear not-for-profit purpose, while delivering measurable outcomes for partner organisations.

Talent Arc looks forward to strengthening existing partnerships and building a more inclusive PR, marketing and communications community.
