Unified Action

Unified Action – Diversifying Sport Governance (DSG) is an action research pilot, funded by the Esmee Fairbairn Foundation, and
delivered by the Youth Sport Trust (YST) in partnership with 2-3 Degrees and Sporting Equals. 


The pilot was led by young people from racialised communities, responding to the injustice of underrepresentation in sport governance –
promoting their voices to challenge and change structural inequality and achieve greater diversity in sport governance and wider society. 


Unified Action DSG worked towards achieving:

✓ Inclusive cultures embedded in sport governance to ensure young people feel valued, respected and empowered 
✓ Defined accessible leadership pathways for young people into governance of sport
✓ Effective representative youth voice within governance of sport
