Can you spare a moment to give us your feedback?

We are in the process of updating this toolkit and would like your input. We have created a short survey to understand if the toolkit is needed and what content should be included.

By gathering this insight from the sector, we will be able to create a toolkit that is relevant and effective in supporting the sport and physical activity sector to do more around mental health.

The survey takes no longer than 10 minutes to complete and will close on Friday 4 September 2020.
