Promoting Sport training
- Are you wondering how to make change4life work for you locally?
- Would you like to learn the secrets of successful physical activity marketing?
- Do you want to hear what messages work when you want to get more people moving more?
WYS are putting on a ‘Promoting Activity’ workshop which will answer all of those questions, and more!
In association with the national change4life campaign, SEPACT is delighted to present this opportunity to learn about the latest social marketing techniques and online resources available for the promotion of physical activity.
During the 2 1/2 session we will cover the basics of a physical marketing plan and the contents of a new online toolkit, how to use them, and how to introduce the resources to others. You will have the opportunity to try it out, ask questions and get follow-up advice.
There are a maximum of 20 places at each event. They will be allocated on a ‘first come first served’ basis initially. If we are over-subscribed, we may have to limit each organisation to one place. If you book a place but cannot attend, please let us know as soon as possible so that we can offer your place to someone else. While this training is offered free of charge, it is expensive to provide. If you have a place but don’t turn up and don’t let us know in advance, you will be charged £20 for your place.
The toolkit is in the final stages of development and will be complete by March. But you can see where we’ve got to so far by visiting

Who should go?
These are ‘Train the Trainer’ events and are therefore targeted at people responsible for physical activity promotion in Primary Care Trusts, Local Authorities, County Sports Partnerships and other key regional and local agencies in the public and voluntary sectors.
Having attended the training, we hope that you will cascade use of this new online toolkit through your own teams and networks.
This training has already been trialled in London and Blackburn, and very well received.
In short:
The Promoting Activity toolkit is a set of tools which make it easier, faster and cheaper to promote sport and activity. They were developed by Make Sport Fun who are running a train-the-trainer workshop to help you use the tools and explain them to others.
The marketing workshop will last 2½ hours and covers the 6 stages of marketing communications and show how the tools in the promoting activity toolkit can help.
At the moment it is hoped to run the training at:
