About us
Who we are
As the sector’s chartered professional body, CIMSPA works on behalf of the whole sport and physical activity sector – supporting, developing and enabling professionals to succeed and, as a result, inspire our nation to be more active.
Our vision
Shaping a recognised, valued and inclusive sport and physical activity sector that everyone can be a part of.
Our purpose
Our purpose is to lead the sport and physical activity sector and continue to shape a respected, regulated and recognised profession that prioritises diversity, inclusion, skills and behaviours. By doing this we will increase employment and volunteering opportunities for people from the broadest range of backgrounds and experiences.
We do this by:
- empowering individuals to realise their potential in the sport and physical activity sector by supporting them on their personal career pathway through professional recognition
- championing the value and positive impact of a diverse and inclusive sport and physical activity workforce
- creating a robust, efficient, effective and localised approach to skills and education that systemises how we support and enable the workforce and organisations to succeed
- leading our sector on workforce policy and regulation to protect both the public and our workforce
- enhancing public trust and confidence in the value of our workforce and profession.
Our culture and values

- Respect
- Quality
