Open to all Sports Clubs within the Cambridgeshire area
This workshop identifies the benefits of opening up your club, to include a wider membership base - meaning more coaches, players, officials, increased revenue, improved eligibility for lottery funding, and quality ratings such as Clubmark; whilst ensuring the involvement and support of the local community.
The ‘A Club for All’ workshop outlines how your club can benefit from reaching all members of the community, and explains how to reach out to them - young people, older people, those on low incomes, disabled people and people from ethnic minorities.
By the end of the workshop you will be able to:
• Explain what “sports equity” means
• List the benefits of sports equity for their sports club or organisation
• Identify equitable and inequitable practice
• Identify key equity challenges for their sports club or organisation
• Identify the steps they may need to take in their own club or organisation to start a basic action plan for equity
• Identify the organisations that can help them and provide further guidance on sports equity.
Please note: Due to number restrictions, this workshop is limited to 1 person per sports club.
