So many great things have happened across English in recent years. Marcus Ellis and Chris Langridge created history at the Rio 2016 Olympic Games when they won Great Britain s first ever Men s Doubles Medal, Chris and Gabby Adcock won the World Superseries Finals Mixed Doubles title in 2015, secured its position as the nation s most popular racket sport with almost 1m people playing every month, year on year the Yonex All England just got bigger and better with record breaking crowds attending the 107th, we successfully bid for the Yonex All England to be recognised among the top 3 majors of world, our member and fan base grew to more than 150,000 people, we welcomed new commercial and broadcast partners to the organisation and we have experienced massive growth in digital engagement across the various platforms. Just some of the amazing achievements that provide the platform to deliver even greater growth and success for English. Discover Badminton is a clear statement of intent to do just that. The development of the strategy involved more than 50 consultation days spanning the length and breadth of the country involving many County Badminton Associations, clubs, leagues, coaches and members. The message we heard was very clear; more in schools, more support to clubs, more people playing and competing, more volunteers and increased help to the current volunteer workforce and more coaches when they are needed. We listened and we understood and the asks of us are embedded into Discover Badminton. Discover Badminton is also a welcoming statement to anyone who wants to take part in our great sport. Whether you want to play, coach, volunteer, officiate or spectate, the doors of English are wide open and through, we will continue to play our part in getting our nation active. The strategy also recognises the changing funding landscape around British sport and it is imperative that National Governing Bodies can demonstrate greater financial resilience and become less reliant on Government funding. Discover Badminton is a strategy for and we look forward to coming together with you to achieve further growth and success in the future. 2 DISCOVER BADMINTON 2017-2025 3
