Organisational Changes at British Ice Skating

British Ice Skating would like to update members on a series of important organisational changes that will shape how we operate moving forward.

Following a recent and detailed review of the organisation’s financial position, it has become clear that action is required to ensure long-term sustainability. While this presents challenges, it also provides an opportunity to strengthen our foundations and build a more resilient and focused organisation for the future of ice skating in the UK.

As part of this process, we are implementing a revised staffing structure and evolving the way we work across the organisation. This will include making more effective use of our resources, streamlining operations, and enhancing collaboration with our valued volunteer network. These changes are designed to ensure that we can continue to deliver for our members, support athletes and coaches, and invest in the development of the sport at all levels.

Sadly, as a result of the restructure a number of valued colleagues will be leaving the organisation. We would like to place on record our sincere thanks to these individuals for their dedication, professionalism, and contribution to British Ice Skating. Their work has played a vital role in supporting and growing our sport, and they leave with our gratitude and best wishes for the future.

We are committed to managing this transition responsibly and with respect for those affected. These are difficult but necessary steps being taken with a clear focus on safeguarding the long-term future of the organisation. By addressing these challenges now, we are positioning British Ice Skating to operate with greater clarity, stability, and purpose. We will move forward with a commitment to reducing organisational overhead costs while staying member-focused and delivering high professional standards.

As part of the new structure, some roles will be opened for recruitment in the coming weeks. We look forward to sharing further details with members shortly and encourage those interested in contributing to the future of the sport to consider these opportunities, which will include a Corporate Services Director.

We thank all members for their support and understanding during this period of change – we will continue to keep you informed as we move forward.
