FOUNDATION FOR LEADERSHIP THROUGH SPORT
The Foundation for Leadership through Sport was established as a charity to provide opportunities to create a better understanding of leadership in, of and through sport. We work with leaders in sport, business and the military to share knowledge across many spheres of interest, and across generations.
FLS Directors have vast experience in these different environments; and their wisdom is valued highly by those at the infancy of their careers and who are considering leadership life within and beyond sport.
That is why, as a charity, we have operated differently to many people working in ‘leadership’. To date, because of the generous spirit of our contributors, presenters and partners, and their commitment to what FLS aims to do, our high-quality workshops, conferences, and resources have cost participants and members nothing.
We have reached a point, however, with an ambition to extend our reach and create an enduring and wider impact, we need to source funds that will allow us to provide learning and growth opportunities to as diverse a group of beneficiaries as we can.
The aim is to organise a minimum of 3 workshops each year and an annual conference. We will also develop our work with schools and Universities to inspire ‘Future Leaders’.
We have managed our activities to date largely because of one man, Nigel Wray, who from the start made a significant financial contribution annually. After ten years, Nigel has completed his agreed period of support.
We now seek to fund the charity slightly differently.
We aim to attract support as follows-
GOLD PATRON
One person/group/company- £10.0k per annum for two years.
SILVER PATRON
Six x Silver patron/group/company- £2.5k per annum each for two years.
BRONZE PATRON
Twenty x Bronze patron/group/individual - £1.0k each for two years
