Helping our Members to lead our Members

Blesma is investing in training and qualifications to give Members who choose to lead an activity the knowledge and training that is required to run an event successfully.

Blesma’s ethos of Member helping Member is at the heart of Blesma activities. COVID-19 gave the Association a chance to reflect on how it can create an environment that not only has the safety of its Members at the forefront but how it also mentors and empowers its ‘Member leads’.

With that in mind, Blesma will empower its Member leads by providing training, funding qualifications and/or sourcing specialist instructors to support the Member in leading the activity.

“Member supporting Member is a key principle of the Association,” said Chief Executive Jon Bryant. “We want to enable our Members to turn their idea into reality, so if they need assistance in doing that we will look to provide it.”

Any Member can suggest an activity that they would like to lead on, or can offer to volunteer their time assisting on one of Blesma’s activities.

If you would like to lead or suggest an event, please contact the Activities Team by email at activities@blesma.org with a proposal, or apply via the website.
