Free club webinars launch to help sports organisation through COVID-19 pandemic.
Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, Active Broxbourne and Active East Herts have teamed up to offer five free daily webinars to local community sports clubs.
As the world faces a global health crisis, the sport and leisure industries are stepping up and demonstrating how exercise is a crucial force of good under difficult circumstances. Sports clubs and leisure organisations are working on individual and collective actions to reduce the impact that COVID-19 is having on activity levels, memberships and mental health.
