Change Starts Together – Connecting Hockey To Be More Inclusive

Join England Hockey for the next in the series of conferences focusing on Equality, Diversity and Inclusion in hockey. 

Following on from the successful event in November 2021 (attended by over 160 people) England Hockey are pleased to announce the next Change Starts Together conference will be held online on Tuesday 22 February, 17:30 – 19:00. 

February is LGBTQ+ history month and therefore during the conference we will spend time celebrating the LGBTQ+ community and exploring ways to ensure all clubs are truly inclusive and welcoming.  Have you considered any barriers that may prevent people joining and feeling welcome at your club?  

Since the first conference in November, England Hockey have been working to produce an Equality, Diversity & Inclusion Action Plan to drive change in the sport.  This conference is your opportunity to hear from members of the newly formed Advisory Group who will be sharing the four main aims of the plan and discussing the next steps to moving forwards and creating change.  Have you considered how your club can support with this? 

Sign up to the conference here – closing date for sign up is Monday 21 February, the link to join will be sent on the morning of the conference.
