Buddle is a National Lottery Funded programme designed to give volunteers and professionals working in community sport and physical activity the support and resources they need to thrive.
It provides learning and support resources to inspire, strengthen and celebrate organisations across the sector.
Buddle, which as an amalgamation of the words‘buddy’ (the role the programme plays for community organisations) and ‘huddle’ (symbolising the coming together and collaboration required to achieve success), replaces Club Matters.
It respondsdirectly to feedback from partners, users and non-users and is more inclusive and intuitive to use.
Buddle shares the latest information, training, and tools to help organisations overcome their challenges and make the most of the opportunities available to them.
All their resources are free and include:
- Trusted and currentinformation, advice and guidance to help with all aspects of developing, runningand growing an organisation.
- Tools and guidance to help organisations become more inclusive and resilient.
- Training and development opportunities to improve and develop skills, knowledgeand confidence.
