The Learning Arena is our learning and development programme created to empower people to embed sport and physical activity into everyday life.

Learn with SFC

The Learning Arena offers inclusive, experiential learning and development designed to support professionals to widen access to sport and physical activity for all through effective education, collaborative learning, mentoring and support. 

Led by us, it combines occupational therapy, physical activity expertise and lived experience to create learning that’s grounded in the real world. We use person-centred, inclusive approaches that empower people to build healthier, more active lives.

Through our work, we aim to:

  • Empower communities to take control of their wellbeing
  • Support people to stay well and live independently
  • Embed inclusive physical activity into daily practice
