Thanks to the leadership of Dr Nik Kotecha OBE DL for taking on this strand and helping our Innovation Festival become a key part of the business calendar.

I'm really pleased to say I have agreed to serve another term as Chair of the Sport for Development Coalition.
I took over at the very start of Covid when we headed straight into online meetings and ironically held our Board this week online due to the train strikes.
I really do feel deeply committed to the work of this part of the wider sport sector - where organisations and individuals are making a difference to peoples lives and their opportunities by tackling some of the deepest rooted inequalities and injustices.
As we all return to work and what 2023 holds for us the team at Sajeimpact have looked back at what we did in 2022 and what 2023 might look like!
Andy and Sarah have stepped back from running sajeimpact full time but they are still around to help the team, bring people together for new projects and of course volunteer.
Happy New Year!
We know 2022 was a turbulent year and whilst we hope 2023 will be better we want you to know we will be around offering our help and support whatever the next year throws at us all!
