Local authorities
We recognise how challenging it can be for local authorities to deliver impact in their communities against a backdrop of funding cuts. We take a bespoke approach to all of our partnerships and offer a detailed consultation to ascertain how our model can work for your community.
Our flexible, high-value model means that modest investments will make a huge impact.
Just one programme can reach:
primary school children (aged 8-10)
young people (aged 11-15)
volunteers (selected from your communities or strategic partners)
Here, too, we use an ABCD model approach to connect and empower local people and organisations to deliver inclusive programmes with long-term impact.
In Barking and Dagenham, one of our key boroughs in London, we are proud to have delivered exceptional outcomes:
“SportInspired’s approach has provided the council with a platform that brings all key stakeholders together and helps us to align our projects and initiatives. In a recent Games programme, 92% of the 900 young people came out more likely to take up sport, with improved team working skills and more confidence.”
– Andy Knight, Group Manager for Community, Barking & Dagenham Council
Housing associations
We work with Housing Associations to help residents come together as a community, improve their health and wellbeing, and also gain valuable skills and qualifications to enhance their future.
We use an ABCD model (Asset Based Community Development) to focus on community assets and strengths rather than problems and needs. The appeal of ABCD lies in its premise that communities are able to drive the development process themselves by identifying and deploying existing, but often unrecognised assets, and thereby responding to and creating local economic opportunity, for example:
- setting up new, sustainable sports clubs in schools and the wider community,
- generating positive community news, or
- delivering qualifications to young people and adults.
