A sustainable sport for change sector: scaling up a high quality approach (360G-CR-1022186)

Funding Organization
£245,790

Small community based organisations face a range of challenges in terms of governance, funding and evaluating their work. These challenges often seem to be more problematic for sports organisations as their history and development tends to be rooted in the sport sector and not the community development sector. Sported was founded specifically to help grass roots community based organisations and sports clubs delivering sport for development to become more sustainable. It helps these clubs to improve their sustainability through support with business planning, financial management, marketing and fundraising, as well as a volunteer mentor programme that provides one-to-one support to organisations. The grant will enable Sported to greatly expand its current mentor and volunteer support across the UK through the creation of a more flexible, targeted model of support which is centrally co-ordinated. As a result of the work, more community based sports organisations will be able to access volunteer support in a more targeted, timelier manner, as well as receive tailored support at different stages of their development. This will help to build the capacity of the Sport for Change sector at the grass-root level.
