Physical Activity & Health Training

The Challenge

British Triathlon, through its Big Active Strategy, has committed to working more closely with communities and diversifying its partnerships—particularly by strengthening its engagement with health and social care stakeholders.

To support this ambition, British Triathlon commissioned Move Consulting to design and deliver a bespoke training programme for staff. The goal was to build knowledge, increase confidence, and equip teams with the tools they needed to engage meaningfully with health organisations, from local charities to Integrated Care Systems (ICS).

Our Approach

Move Consulting worked collaboratively with British Triathlon to understand their needs and develop a training offer aligned to their strategy and staff capabilities.

We adapted our one-day Physical Activity and Health training programme to suit the context of a national governing body—ensuring the learning was not only informative but also practical, reflective, and tailored to the realities of sport development roles.

The programme focused on helping staff better understand the health system landscape, explore key enablers for behaviour change, and develop their ability to initiate and sustain partnerships with health and care organisations.

To deepen learning, we added two follow-up online sessions that provided opportunities for staff to reconnect, apply what they had learned, and share their experiences in a supportive environment.

Move Consulting Director, Craig Blain said about the training provided: 

“We didn’t just want to share information - we wanted to create space for people to reflect on their practice and challenge their own assumptions. It was a pleasure to support a governing body investing in this type of learning."
