2012 COMMUNITY LEGACY PROJECTS
The figures below cover projects and funding
drawn down and claimed between April 2004 and November 2007 (The
latest information available).
ACCESS
Activity supported under this theme develops
community use of institutional (for example, schools) and corporate
facilities. It supported interventions which widen access to both
sports provision and facilities for harder to reach groups; including
people with disabilities, people from ethnic minorities or deprived
backgrounds, and women. For example £1.9 million has supported
the Inclusive Fitness Initiative to provide training and adapted
equipment to enable people with disabilities to access and use
gyms.
In total, 132 projects have been supported with
an investment of £21.1 million (17% of the total funding
claimed to date).
FITNESS
Activity supported under this theme develops
health and wellbeing through sport, for example through funding
workplace activities. For example Sport England invested £600K
(with additional funding from the Department of Health) to fund
sports co-ordinators who run work-based sessions (including at
Heinz and Masterfoods) to re-engage employees into sport. Over
10,000 employees accessed the sessions.
In total 150 projects have been supported with
an investment of £8.7 million (7% of the total funding claimed
to date).
CLUBS
Activity supported under this theme develops
multi sport clubs at the heart of communities. It supports interventions
which link school, college or university sports provision of community
or local NGB clubs. The interventions seek to create both local
supply and demand. For example in the East region £3 million
was invested to enhance NGB clubs and coaches. As a result 391
clubs achieved ClubMark kitemark which denotes their ability to
reach out to new participants and offer them a quality experience.
In total 89 projects have been supported with
an investment of £11.4 million (9% of the total funding claimed
to date).
TALENT
Activity supported under this theme supports
interventions which identify and develop talent through improvement
to talent pathways. It has also provided funding to National Governing
Bodies of Sport to enhance their Long-Term Athlete Development
Frameworks. This included reaching down into schools through the
National PE, School Sport and Club Links strategy. In the East
Midlands region we invested £3.5 million to enhance talent
pathways across 22 sports (better and more coaches, lifestyle
management, enhanced support for volunteers and advice on how
talented individuals could access funding through, for example,
Sports Aid or local business).
In total 211 projects have been supported with
an investment of £32.7 million (26% of the total funding
claimed to date).
SKILLS
Activity supported under this theme develops
the skills and capacity of the sports workforce (coaches, volunteers,
officials and those working in community/leisure services. It
supports community and club coaches, young leaders and volunteers.
In London the funding has created 429 FTE coaches providing just
under 121,000 coaching hours to 272,000 young people. The funding
also provided coach education and accreditation.
In total 233 projects have been supported with
an investment of £33.7 million (27% of the total funding
claimed to date).
OTHER
Projects which support two or more of the above
themes have been grouped together under this category. For example:
The Active Parents project in Gedling (East Midlands)
supports the skills, clubs and fitness themes. Funding was used
to employ coaches to deliver sport sessions designed which engage
spectating parents in sport whilst their children were training.
It also encouraged other parents to volunteer in local clubs and
provided them with leadership training.
Other interventions range from supporting a mobile
gym which tours disadvantaged areas in Derbyshire which has engaged
over 800 young people; the "Getaway Girls" programme
which received over £300K to provide opportunities for young
women to participate in a range of sports from athletics to canoeing
and obtain sport qualifications.
In total 268 projects have been supported with
an investment of £17.8 million (14% of the total funding
