1 streetgames doorstep sport clubs year 4 report
2 section 1 : Introduction In 2013 Sport England granted StreetGames a 20m Lottery award to develop, with our network of local partners 1,000 Doorstep Sport Clubs (DSCs) aimed at engaging 100,000 young people living in areas of high deprivation to participate in sport between Doorstep Sport Clubs Doorstep Sport Clubs are fun, informal sports clubs that operate at the right time, for the right price, in the right place, with the right people and in the right style. A DSC provides a vibrant and varied sporting offer for young people that is designed to grow their motivation and ability to adopt a sporting habit for life. The format and content of DSCs are youth-led and as such, one may look very different from another. Some will provide sessions where participants try a range of different sports in a relaxed and friendly atmosphere with social breaks and hang out areas whilst others may provide informal matches, competitions and challenges. DSCs are encouraged to provide a multi-sport offer. So for example, this may be provided by: CLUB 1 Running multi-sport sessions, which offer a mixture of sports in one session [the most popular method] Running blocks of single sports sessions or rotating different sports on a weekly basis Providing a number of different single sports sessions at one venue which happen on different days of the week. Providing a single sport session that introduces new sports at the end of this session, with the aim of developing a multisport offer of single sport sessions. Of the 1,000 DSCs, 277 have been CLUB1 Doorstep Sport Clubs which focus on introducing young people to solo usually fitness based activities. The most popular solo activities delivered via CLUB1 have included: Exercise and fitness classes - such as Body Pump, Zumba, Pilates, Metafit, dance fit, CrossFit, spinning, step aerobics and yoga Running/Jogging including group runs, taking part in 5km Park Runs and local charity runs Fitness and gym including gym inductions and subsidised gym access Boxing including box fit, boxercise Other activities have included swimming, cycling, outdoor activities such as climbing, trampolining, golf and ice skating. Based on the readiness of the group of young people being targeted, CLUB1 activities are usually phased: Stage 1: typically involves introducing solo activities into a project/group of existing young people at a familiar setting e.g. a local youth club. Stage 2: typically involves group visits to local facilities or taking part, as a group in solo activities within the community such as a ParkRun. Stage 3: typically involves supporting young people to be active independently for example, through free passes, subsidised access to local gyms, leisure centres and classes. The overarching aim of CLUB1 has been to try and move young people from stages 1 to 2 to 3 but this depends upon their readiness to be active independently. The three stages are not mutually exclusive and activities may not always fit neatly into these categories. Year Four Report This report provides an overview of Year Four of the Doorstep Sport Club programme and covers the period between April 2016 March It also provides infographics (in section Seven) which show DSC cumulative data for the entire four year DSC period The information is based upon performance data and review, which has been taking place on a continuous basis, and includes:
3 Analysis of Doorstep Sport Club monitoring data to review key outputs such as the number of sessions, participants and attendance; Site visits to a range of Doorstep Sport Clubs to observe sessions and consult with coaches, volunteers and participants; Surveys with participants; Interviews with Doorstep Sport Club staff; and Meetings with Doorstep Sport Advisors and Network Co-ordinators. section 2 : Year 4 headline stats Doorstep Sport Clubs Over the four year period a total of 1,097 DSCs have been set up in 154 different local authorities in England. The map below shows how the clubs are dispersed across the country. local authority 30% housing assc 1% DSCs have been run by over 311 different organisations, including local authorities, trusts, charities, community organisations, housing associations and educational organisations trust 13% education 8% ltd by guarantee 3% emergency service 1% community org 6% sports club 6% cic 9% charity 24% Participants During Year Four 20,743 new participants have taken part at a DSC bringing the cumulative total number of participants aged years over the four year period to 102,278 (above the target set); plus a further 17,752 participants aged under 14 years have attended. 102,278 participants attended 1,821,043 total attendances 17,752 further participants aged under 14 During Year four participants have collectively generated over 721,000 attendances. Over the entire four year period over 1.8 million DSC attendances have taken place. In terms of participant profile, monitoring data shows that: 76% of participants live in areas that are ranked within the two most deprived quintiles based on the Index of Multiple Deprivation (IMD) rankings of Lower Super Output Areas (LSOAs) - including 53% that live in an area ranked within the most deprived quintile. 28% are aged years, 53% are aged years and 19% are aged year olds 34% are females. In total the DSC programme has engaged over 38,000 females. The ratio of female to male participants has increased year on year during the programme; in Year One only 28% of participants were female, by Year Four - 47% of new participants have been female. 32% are from BAME backgrounds - the levels of engagement of participants from BAME young people has consistently been above target (26%) throughout the course of the programme. 5% have a disability - the levels of engagement of disabled young people has consistently been above target (3%) throughout the course of the programme.
4 Participation Patterns Most DSCs run sessions on a continuous basis enabling new participants to join at any point. DSCs are therefore likely to have both brand new participants and some that may have been attending over a number of months /years. In total, the DSCs have collectively generated over 1.8 million attendances meaning that on average, each participant has attended 15 sessions, although in reality, there are some young people that have attended many more sessions and some that have attended fewer. Analysis of the DSC monitoring data to review span of attendance shows that more than two-thirds of participants attended over a period of several months, with over a quarter attending for more than one year. The data shows that: 26% have been attending for between 2-6 months, 13% have been attending for between 7-12 months and 26% have been attending for over one year. Most participants attend on a regular basis data for Year Four shows that over three-quarters (87%) attended four or more times in a four week period and half (59%) attended at least twelve times in a 12 week period (i.e. about once a week). Monthly 87% x4 per month 4% x3 per month 4% x2 per month 6% x1 per month quarterly 59% 12+ in 12 weeks 17% 6-11 in 12 weeks 12% 3-5 in 12 weeks 13% 1-2 in 12 weeks DSC Activities All DSCs are encouraged to provide a multi-sport offer and monitoring data shows that in total, 41 different sports activities have been provided, including: Traditional team sports such as: basketball, football, netball, handball, hockey, rugby and rounders 1 v 1 sports such :table tennis, tennis and badminton Individual and fitness related activities such as: going to the gym, running/jogging, swimming, cycling, dance and weighlifting Combat sports such as: judo and boxing Other sports such as: golf, angling, gymnastics, Parkour and trampolining. The most popular activities provided in Year Four have included: football, gym/fitness, basketball, dance, table tennis, badminton, boxing, tennis and cricket top 10 sports 6,068 11,740 11,721 42,247 6,768 8,157 5,212 16,926 16,757 8,152
5 section 3 : Central Support Central Support StreetGames has provided support to the organisations running DSCs on an on-going basis to support their activities. This has included: One-to-one support via our team of specialist Doorstep Sport Advisors (DSAs). DSAs are experienced practitioners that are based within local communities and include those that can provide both generic doorstep sport advice as well as those that are able to provide specialist support in key areas such as attracting women and girls or fundraising. Support to create a richer, vibrant and varied (VIVA) sporting offer via access to the StreetGames programme of pop ups, festivals, trips to major sporting events and volunteer support. Access to training workshops and roadshows Access to the StreetGames Portal which allows projects to submit information electronically therefore reducing the need for paperwork and correspondence Regional and sub-regional network meetings to share information, insight and learning between DSC hosts Access to a central data collection monitoring tool (using the Views system) Opportunities to take part in action research initiatives and access to new research undertaken by StreetGames to ensure that doorstep sport offers are based upon up-to-date insight. Doorstep Sport Advisors DSAs support projects on a one-to-one basis and provide the first point of support for the Doorstep Sport Clubs. During Year Four, DSAs have been using the StreetGames Development Toolkit in discussion with host organisations to help shape support by reviewing three key areas: 1. Creating an attractive, vibrant and varied sporting offer 2. Sport for Development: maximising the value of sports interventions to young people and to disadvantaged communities; and 3. Securing the future of doorstep sport. The main focus area for supporting DSCs in Year Four has been in relation to the sustainability of their DSC provision. In Autumn 2016, a series of regional network meetings were also delivered where sustainability was a key theme, building on the Sustainability Roadshows that took place towards the end of Year Three. In relation to sustaining doorstep sport provision, DSAs have also been supporting projects to consider and develop cluster working i.e. where organisations in a local area come together to plan and deliver doorstep sport provision. For more info, see section six. Vibrant & Varied Sporting Offer (VIVA) StreetGames provides DSCs with access to wider StreetGames support to enhance their everyday provision, for example with opportunities to access tailored NGB offers, pop up clubs, opportunities to spectate at sporting events, access to mass participation festivals and volunteer training. Pop Up Clubs Pop up clubs are designed to enable DSC delivery partners to provide new/additional activities that are linked to an event taking place on the national or international stage. 118 doorstep sport organisations accessed Pop Up Clubs during Year Four. Pop up packages and support from StreetGames has included: sports specific Activator training workshops for local coaches and volunteers, equipment sets, game cards, event tickets and on-line resources. During Year Four this has included: Pop Up Rugby: StreetGames and the Rugby Football Union (RFU) has supported the StreetGames network to deliver Rugby Pop Up Clubs to generate interest and attract new participants into O2 Touch Rugby through using fun activities, tournaments and competitions. This pilot programme saw 30 doorstep sport organisations receive rugby equipment and training, enabling 849 young people to take part over an 8 week period. The RFU and StreetGames are continuing their partnership to support 11 out of the 30 organisations as part of the Pop Up Plus programme. This programme supports delivery partners to continue using their kit regularly within multi-sport sessions to keep their young people engaged in O2 Touch as part of their wider doorstep sport provision. So far, this programme has engaged with 476 participants.
6 Pop Up Football: Since October 2015, StreetGames and The Football Association (FA) have been working in partnership to support the StreetGames network to deliver Us Girls Football Pop Up Clubs. The programme aims to engage young women and girls aged in football by using fun activities, tournaments and competitions. In 2016 two rounds of Us Girls Football Pop Up Clubs were delivered, both linked to Girls Football Week in April and October. 50 organisations received football equipment and training, enabling 1,126 females to take part in football activities over a 10 week period. DSCs have also been given the opportunity through StreetGames to take their young people to spectate at a number of elite sporting events. During these have included: NGBs Under 20s Rugby World Cup in Manchester A variety of Premiership Rugby Matches A trip to Twickenham to see the England rugby team training in preparation for the RBS Six Nations A variety of professional boxing matches. StreetGames continues to work in partnership with 18 NGBs to help them to grow their sport in disadvantaged areas and to support DSCs to offer a varied and vibrant sporting offer. Examples during 2016/17 have included: Extending the existing partnership with the Tennis Foundation who now fund a Tennis Development Officer post to support the SERVES programme within the StreetGames network. Developing new Activator Workshops: Working in partnership with England Boxing, we have developed the Boxing4Fitness Activator award that will provide doorstep sport coaches and leaders with the skills required to introduce noncontact boxing activities, with a focus around fitness. Boxing continues to be within the top 10 sports delivered by DSCs, and the Activator award has already proved popular amongst DSCs that already deliver boxing, but also those that are looking to expand their offer. Working with NGB staff to provide CPD opportunities to enhance their understanding and help develop suitable offers for disadvantaged young people (e.g. with The Golf Foundation, British Cycling, FA and England Rugby). Developing joint Pop up offers for DSCs, which have proved popular again as detailed above. Multi-Sport Festival DSCs were also given the opportunity to take participants to the StreetGames multi-sport Festival which took place at the Copper Box on the Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park in London in August DSC organisations accessed the festival which was attended by over 800 participants. StreetGames Festivals provide young people with the opportunity to try a wide range of sports, many of which they may not have tried before plus the use of iconic venues seeks to offer inspiration and a day to remember and are seen by project leaders as a key retention tool. At the 2016 London Festival young people had the opportunity to take part over 30 different sports and activities. Training Pop Up Golf: Building on previous pop up golf initiatives, in September 2016 ten doorstep sport organisations received a StreetGolf kit bag which helped them to engage 510 participants in StreetGolf. In addition, 18 out of 42 doorstep sport organisations received a Top Up of StreetGolf equipment, which engaged with a further 661 young people. All DSCs were provided with access to training from the StreetGames Training Academy Workshop menu via a regional allocation system entitling them to free places on various courses. StreetGames Training Academy workshops, coaching courses and resources support the Doorstep Sport workforce to provide high-quality sporting opportunities in a style which fits the local area they serve. The workshops comprise: Doorstep Sport Skills Workshops which help local providers deliver effective Doorstep Sport by sharing findings from StreetGames action research and top tips from projects across our network and beyond covering topics including: managing challenging behaviour, engaging women and girls and mentoring volunteers.
7 Activator workshops which provide community sports and youth workers with the skills to introduce new activities to the groups they work with. The workshops draw on the principles of teaching games for understanding, and they provide numerous activities to enable coaches to interact with the young people and understand their motivations. They cover over 14 different sports, including: basketball, dance, table tennis and golf. Accredited qualifications which include: Level 2 Doorstep Sport Coaching qualification, the Level 1 Award in Health Improvement and the Level 2 Certificate for Youth Health Champions. During Year Four a number of new workshops have been developed, including: new Activator workshops in boxing, squash and parks activation plus an Empowering Coaching for doorstep sport workshop developed in partnership with the University of Birmingham, Empowering Women, a Level 1 Award in Developing Community Activities for Youth at Risk and Understanding Young People workshops. During Year Four over 290 training workshops were provided: 969 learners attended a doorstep sport workshop 1,198 learners attended an activator workshop 833 accredited qualifications have been completed The most popular workshops during this period have been: the multi-skill Activator and managing challenging behaviour workshops. New workshops being developed in 2017 include: behaviour change, engaging inactives, resilience and a review of the volunteering suite of workshops. Volunteers DSC hosts are encouraged to engage and up-skill young people as volunteers. Volunteer recruitment is usually organic with coaches and leaders encouraging existing participants who are interested to help out; often in small steps. During Year Four over 550 young volunteers people have been engaged. The young volunteers are involved in a wide range of different aspects at their doorstep sport sessions, such as helping with the coaching/refereeing, helping to organise events and tournaments, helping to set up and put away equipment, administrative tasks linked to the sessions, such as taking registers and monitoring attendance, helping to fundraise and importantly, acting as peer promoters to engage and support new participants and volunteers. As such, the volunteers not only provide key support to the clubs but as the volunteers often tend to be recruited from within the project they act as positive role models and peer champions to other young people, whilst the volunteers themselves gain key skills and experiences. The volunteers are supported by local project staff who provide encouragement, mentoring and support. Support for volunteers is also provided by StreetGames centrally who provide: access to training/qualifications, opportunities to volunteer outside their local area at events and festivals, recognition and awards, resources/kit and opportunities to attend residential leadership courses. Plus support and training is also provided for DSC staff that act as volunteer mentors together with opportunities to network and share best practice with other doorstep sport organisations that engage young volunteers. This support is provided via funding from a range of sources including: BT Supporters, Berkeley Homes and local trusts. Through funding from BT Supporters, 30 full-time volunteer placements are available with 10 of the placements starting during 2016/17 (the remaining 20 placements will commence during 2017). Full-time volunteers are involved in an intensive social action opportunity contributing hours per week for 24 weeks. Those recruited are typically NEET (Not in Education, Employment or Training) prior to their involvement in the placement. StreetGames encourages each placement to follow a similar programme where young people are supported through an induction, undertake at least one qualification, attend project meetings and support and learn more about the daily running of a project. Each full-time volunteer is also supported and encouraged to plan their own social action project. This is often a one-off event or festival, or the implementation of a new StreetGames session as part of the projects timetable of activities.
8 Case Study Developing Volunteers Wirral Sports Development Wirral Sports Development team have delivered five DSCs and three CLUB1 initiatives over the past four years. The Clubs are located in areas of high deprivation including: Birkenhead, Seacombe, Woodchurch and Wallasey. The activities are normally provided in a MUGA right in the heart of the community often being used as a diversionary tool to combat youth related anti-social behaviour; receiving referrals from a range of local agencies. Young volunteers play a crucial role in the delivery of these sessions - Colin Hunt, the Project Leader said: Pivotal to our delivery plans are our volunteers..over the years we have successfully mentored over 50 volunteers who have helped in some sort of capacity. The most successful volunteers have been the ones that have come through StreetGames programmes such as Doorstep Sport Clubs, CLUB1, Us Girls and more recently ParkLives Most of the volunteers that help out began as participants and are gradually supported into their role as a volunteer by local delivery staff. They provide support in a range of different ways including: helping to set up and run the sessions, taking attendance registers and helping to promote activities. They also provided invaluable intel back to the sessional leaders about what s happening locally and help shape sessions. The CLUB1 Promoters have been extremely valuable for example, two young females Ellie and Chelsea helped to promote their CLUB1 session via Facebook, text and Whatsapp and have done a brilliant job at letting people know what s going on proving to be far more effective than traditional posters and flyers. The volunteers give up their time freely and in return, they are provided with opportunities to gain new sports qualifications and attend training workshops, events and residentials which in turn helps to enhance the sporting offer. Many of the volunteers have also been given the opportunity to attend StreetGames Leadership Residentials in the Lake District which has created immeasurable outcomes for our young people..including improved confidence, improved self-esteem, improved communication skills and in some cases new friendships across the StreetGames network Many of the volunteers have developed so much, they are virtually running the sessions and through the StreetGames Volunteer programme, at least 10 have gone on to gain full or part-time employment in a sports related industry including three who are currently volunteers in America coaching soccer. I have taken every opportunity that I have been offered and I have taken them with both hands and really tried my best to make a difference before I got involved in the programme I didn t have much to talk about, but now I feel I have a focus on what I want to do with my life and where I want to be. I also think I have gained a better footpath and I really take my fitness training seriously and have gained some qualifications on the way. I want to continue with my development When I look back, I think about all the things that were getting me into trouble and it was only because at the time I felt I had nothing better to do with my time, now I have lots to keep me motivated and occupied with my time and I look forward to the next challenge I know I feel a lot better about my outlook on life, I get on much better with my parents and feel a lot more positive about things in general - I am so glad that I started doing stuff with Colin and that I didn t follow the same route as most of my mates around Birkenhead, who have either been given ASBOs or will end up with criminal records Stuey, the Wirral Volunteering is amazing..fun you get opportunities to lead and gain qualifications and it s good to get outside your comfort zone. Being a Young Advisor at the StreetGames Camp was amazing, fun and awesome! Joe, the Wirral
9 section 4 : finance Each Doorstep Sport Club is provided with funding through the Sport England Lottery Award to contribute towards providing their DSC activities. Hosts receive circa 4,500 per annum for a three year period. The money is largely ring-fenced for front-line delivery costs such as venue hire and coaching costs see below, which provides a breakdown of DSC spend. equipment 4% marketing 2% rewards 2% events 2% venue hire 20% project management 10% dsc spend DSC staff 29% training 4% coaches 26% DSCs are also required to provide 30% match funding contribution, which can be provided 50% in cash and 50% in kind. In practice, a higher amount (57%) of match funding has been contributed to the running of DSCs by local delivery organisations. Organisations which have typically provided this match funding are: local authorities, sports organisations, not for profit organisations, private sector and housing associations 57% match funding total dsc funding 43% lottery funding
10 section 5 : Why DSCs are Important DSCs are affordable and accessible to Disadvantaged Young People Analysis of data included in the ONS Expenditure and Food Survey shows that low income households spend on average 133 per annum on active sport, which equates to just 2.55 a week meaning that many disadvantaged young people are typically priced out of mainstream sport and leisure offers. DSC sessions are provided free or at a very low cost to enable disadvantaged young people to take part. Over the four year programme ( ) over 120,000 young people have participated at a DSC and from participant postcode data analysis we know that the significant majority are from areas of high deprivation. DSCs attract young people who don t typically take part in mainstream sport Most DSC participants don t take part in mainstream sporting offers with DSC participant survey data showing that just 16% are members of a sports club and only 14% visit leisure centres. Emphasising how important DSCs are to this target market. Doorstep Sport Clubs are highly valued by young people Perhaps most importantly, are the views of the young people themselves. The results of the DSC participant survey showed that: 93% of participants rated their DSC as very good/ good 98% of participants told us they enjoyed being active 92% have tried a new sport/activity 88% of participants told us they had made new friends. At sessional visits when asked to describe their DSC words commonly used by participants included: exciting friendly cool loads of friends fantastic energetic awesome no pressure fun Doorstep Sport Clubs generate wider social value DSCs can generate wider social value. They work because they provide more than just activity sessions Doorstep Sport Clubs: Provide young people with valuable experiences to go to new places and meet new people Empower young people to develop through opportunities to take on new challenges, lead and design new activities Are run by adults who apply rules to model and moderate positive behaviour and builds capacity within local community organisations Can be used to reduce tension in a neighbourhood and dissipate hotspots of youth generated anti-social behaviour. Survey results of both DSC participants and young volunteers have shown that young people develop new skills and competencies from taking part, are active regularly and report high scores in relation to well-being. For example: Physical Well-being: 69% of participants say they are taking part in sport more regularly Mental Well-being: 79% of participants selected scores in the very high/high categories in terms of their levels of happiness and 84% selected scores in the very high/high categories in terms of their levels of life satisfaction Individual Development: 94% of participants say they have learnt new skills, 96% of participants say they have improved their skills. 87% selected scores in the very high/high category in terms of their confidence to take part in sport/physical activity. Over 90% of young volunteers surveyed said that they can problem solve, self-manage and work with others in a team plus 54% say that they have used their volunteer experience to take up other qualifications and roles.
11 But perhaps more importantly, are the discussions with project leaders, volunteers and participants that have highlighted a multitude of positive human stories behind the statistics, such as: The many young people who didn t consider themselves to be sporty and initially wouldn t join in with activities; preferring to watch from the side-lines, but through the support of enthusiastic and empathetic leaders have begun taking part and gone on to participate in many different activities. Under-confident girls who, through the Us Girls initiative, have found the self-belief to organise, market and run events in their communities. Young males, who although keen on football - enjoying a kick-about with their friends in the local park have been exposed to a wide variety of new sports and been on trips to festivals and residentials in different parts of the country where they ve met new people and grown in confidence. NEETs who have gone on to find paid employment through the training StreetGames gave them coupled with opportunities to be supported and mentored by local host organisations. The mini case studies below provide a selection of examples which illustrate how DSCs do more than just provide a sports session: case study Porchlight: The Springboard Project Active Life Canterbury has been running two Doorstep Sport Clubs and three CLUB1 initatives which have collectively engaged 398 participants. Working in partnership with Porchlight; a Homeless Charity, the Springboard project was developed on the back of the success of the DSC sessions. The Springboard project aims to enhance the employability of the young people who attend by offering them confidence building activities and workshops to improve life skills, communication and social skills. The sessions were delivered in a very informal style and setting as it was clear that a more Classroom based approach would not appeal to the young people. As such, the Springboard sessions ran immediately after the sports sessions, taking place at the side of the pitch they had just been playing on very much a StreetGames approach to employability support. Where possible, the content and themes of the sessions were linked to real world sporting examples, making the important employability subject matter more relatable to the young people. An example of this was the Mourinho v Messi workbook, which made participants think about the particular characteristics of their sporting heroes and how traits like teamwork and discipline are crucial to their success and how transversely they themselves can apply these very same skills in their own lives to become more successful in pursuing goals. A key element of the sessions was to encourage self-reflection within the context of employability. An effective way of achieving this was to ask questions which made the participants think about themselves and the qualities they possess. Initially, many were quick to presume that they didn t actually have any of the traits that an employer would usually look for. Coaches would then point out that they had been coming to the sessions week in week out and were always on time. So without them even realising they were already demonstrating a good record of attendance and time keeping skills. This was the starting point for the coaches building the foundations of self-confidence upon which aspiration and belief could eventually grow. Seven of the eighteen participants has gone on to find employment, showing the positive impact that the project has made. Whilst the project alone cannot take sole credit for these results, there is no doubt that the concept of offering employability support in an informal and creative manner has reached through to the young people, for whom employment had previously not been something they had given a great deal of thought to. case study Active Connections - ActiveDADs Active Connections a Social Enterprise organisation based in Gloucester has been running five Doorstep Sport Clubs and five CLUB1 initatives which have collectively engaged over 780 participants. At the same time, Active Connections was also running a programme called ActiveDADs, funded by Big Lottery and the Police and Crime Commissioner that was set up to support dads, to be dads by offering positive experiences that they can share with their children including taking part in sport and attending sporting events with their children. They soon realised that Doorstep Sport Clubs had a large number of young dads attending weekly sessions. These dads in many cases were aged and were therefore target beneficiary of the ActiveDADs project.
12 Previous experience had showed that to reach these young men and work with them as young dads it was important to first offer a series of engagement activities that was just for them. So Active Connections established a spin off session from the DSCs that was just for young dads. The session was a five-a-side football league alternating with a Touch Rugby league which grew to attract dads from across the city. The session engaged with 58 young dads all from areas of high deprivation. During the sessions the project staff worked with the young men to help them transition to other ActiveDADs sessions that were for both dads and children. These included a Saturday morning drop in session with sport, art and crafts as well as a Dads coffee morning on a weekday. Not all dads made this transition but 32 dads attended 4 or more other ActiveDADs sessions and three went on to become volunteers on the ActiveDADs project. The outcome from these volunteers was the establishment of the Heart of Gloucester FC, a club which is now affiliated with the FA and still runs today with five teams. Case Study Unity Gym Following a tragic consequence of gang crime, Unity Gym was established in 2009, by a group of youth workers in Sheffield. In an attempt to make positive changes to the community, focus groups were arranged for young people in the area. Upon realising that the local youth club was highly valued, it seemed the ideal focal point to try to bring the community together. Since then, the organisation has offered physical activity, personal support and a wide range of opportunities to young people from several venues, with staff and volunteers from both sporting and care-worker backgrounds. Through funding from StreetGames Unity Gym were able to expand their offer from 2014 to provide seven Doorstep Sports Clubs, as well as two CLUB1 projects and full-time volunteer placements. Unity Gym has grown into a largely appreciated presence around Sheffield, recognised as a good example of community engagement by the Home Office. Unity Gym is always looking for ways to build the life skills of young people. Using the StreetGames CLUB1 promoter initiative, young people are given a sense of responsibility and the chance to explore new areas of the city. Also, by nominating key individuals who are popular figures in their area as mediators, this has encouraged their peers to connect with others and follow in their steps. With strong focus on personal development, staff also provide support for those in need, whilst always trying to maintain strong links with parents and schools, to ensure the young people have constant support available. Due to their inclination to work with like-minded organisations, Unity Gym has built valuable relationships over the years to secure funding, access to improved facilities, and extra opportunities for the youth of Sheffield. By successfully using sport as a tool, Saeed and the rest of the Unity Gym team are continuing to make a huge difference to their community and young people s lives. Doorstep Sport Club Lessons Throughout the DSC programme we have gathered a wealth of learning which has enabled us to build an invaluable bank of intelligence about; disadvantaged young people and how best to engage them in sport and physical activity, the potential to use doorstep sport to impact on wider social outcomes [such as: health and wellbeing, community safety, employment, empowerment] and on the benefits of a network approach in large-scale programme delivery. Key learning has been collated into a single document called Insight into Action the lessons from the Doorstep Sport Programme which can be downloaded from the StreetGames website and will be incorporated into relevant training workshops:
13 section 6 : the future Learning over the past four years has informed our future plans and investment priorities. StreetGames was delighted that Sport England confirmed an award of a further 3.5 million in funding for The investment will build upon the strong foundations of the DSC programme and focus on encouraging disadvantaged young people to take part in sport and help develop a resilient, sporting habit for life. During 2017/18 the main strands of work will focus on: 1. Stabilising and sustaining doorstep sport provision for disadvantaged young people 2. Supporting disadvantaged women and girls to take part 3. Ensuring a vibrant and varied sporting offer and transitioning 4. Ensuring an insight led practice 5. Undertaking work to help influence and re-shape the supply-side. Stabilising & Sustaining Doorstep Sport Provision The presence of a stable offer is essential if disadvantaged young people are to develop a resilient sporting habit for life; given their limited abilities to pay, this requires a subsidy and the majority of providers of informal youth/doorstep sport have limited and often short-term resources. Consequently an important part of our work in 2017/18 is to support these providers to become more sustainable and so provide a stable offer that will retain young people in doorstep sport activities. We are currently assessing sustainability for the organisations whose agreed DSC funding period ended in March However, from research conducted at the end of Year Three, we know that a significant number of the DSCs that were set up in 2013 have sustained their delivery following the end of their agreed funding in March This has been achieved via a range of different methods including: Securing new funding from other grant sources such as: the Mayors Fund, local Trusts, neighbourhood/ward funding, community grants and Children in Need. Securing funding from their Local Authority, Childrens Services/Public Health/Youth Service Securing funding from PCCs and housing associations Integrating DSC activity into the core offer of host organisations with many using their own funds to sustain activity Working with partners who are sustaining the activity and/or sharing staff costs e.g. local sports clubs, youth clubs, school/college Charging participants nominal fees to take part Local fundraising activities Using more volunteers to reduce staffing costs. To assist DSC hosts Doorstep Sport Advisors will provide tailored support with sustainability planning in 2017/18. Support will include: fundraising advice, training and bid writing support, encouraging cluster based working to increase efficiency and undertaking advocacy work with funders to encourage investment in doorstep sport, emphasising the social value of this work. There will also be some direct investment for DSC hosts where there is a clear need and risk that existing doorstep sport sessions will cease without direct investment, coupled with support to plan methods of securing longer-term sustainability. Focus on Women and Girls In total over 38,000 female participants took part in sport at a Doorstep Sport Club over the past four years. However, this didn t just happen as a matter of course. In the early stages numbers were low and a pro-active approach was needed to attract more females, including: ring-fencing funding for female only DSCs, providing additional support from DSAs specifically experienced in engaging women and girls, providing training workshops, encouraging hosts to develop female peer promoters and the introduction of CLUB1. We know from our experience of running DSCs and Us Girls initiatives that a pro-active and focused approach is needed to encourage disadvantaged females to take part in sport. During 2017/18 we will support DSC providers to maintain their female offers and set up new female only sessions via mix of direct investment and fundraising support. We will also support DSC hosts to deliver Us Girls Rocks festivals, develop peer promoters and support females to transition from their DSC into other local settings such as group fitness classes and gym sessions.
14 Ensuring a Vibrant & Varied Sporting Offer /Transitioning Most disadvantaged young people grow up within under-served communities and as such, lack access to the rich, vibrant and varied (VIVA) sporting opportunities that their more affluent peers enjoy. This means that they are often: less exposed to sport, have fewer safe places to play, live in areas with fewer voluntary clubs with less volunteers and fewer positive role models meaning that they often grow up in deficit and without intervention many are likely to drop out of sport and are unlikely to gain the confidence and competence to develop a resilient sporting habit known as activity know-how in StreetGames. Learning over the past four years has emphasised how important the additional VIVA opportunities can be to help young people develop activity know-how. We also want to encourage DSC hosts to help their young people to transition into new activities and new settings. Therefore, during 2017/18 support will include: Opportunities for doorstep sport hosts to access direct funding (through expansion of CLUB1 and new activities aimed at encouraging young people to transition into new settings and new activities) Opportunities for organisations within the StreetGames Network to access: - Places for their young people to take part in leadership residentials and Camps - New offers via partnerships with NGBs and leisure providers - Volunteer opportunities, placements and events - Training places for project staff and volunteers - Advice, support and guidance - Opportunities to network and share good practice with other doorstep sport providers. Insight led practice Ensuring an insight-led approach has been vitally important over the past four years. We are keen to continue to grow our understanding around disadvantaged young people s needs and the types of sporting offer that will engage them more regularly and meaningfully in sport. Key areas of focus during 2017/18 will include: undertaking a number of action research initiatives to gather learning in relation to: developing resilient sporting habits, minimising revolving and developing peer-led/self-managed activities. We will also support DSC providers with advice and guidance to make the best use of their monitoring data and on developing good processes for listening to and acting upon young people s voices. Feedback from the network over the past four years has been extremely positive in relation to the value of the training workshops and qualifications provided by the StreetGames Training Academy. As such, we will also continue to support doorstep sport organisations to access training for their coaches, leaders and volunteers and develop new workshops from insight gathered. In addition, we will continue to gather evidence to demonstrate the impact of doorstep sport on wider social outcomes, through specific programmes of research linked to: enhancing youth potential and routes into employment through sports volunteering, protecting and promoting mental health/well-being and reducing youth crime/anti-social behaviour. Re-shaping and influencing the supply-side Other suppliers of sport, such as NGBs, leisure operators, colleges and commercial operators can make a significant contribution to help disadvantaged young people to be active and grow a resilient sporting habit. Over the past four years StreetGames has worked in partnership with a wide variety of different providers to enable disadvantaged young people to access new settings and new sports. However, more work needs to be done, to open the doors to the vast majority of mainstream sports facilities and sessions for disadvantaged young people and tackle the key issues of access. During 2017/18 efforts will be focused on: further developing relationships, sharing good practice and providing training to mainstream sports suppliers together with partnership work to co-design new sporting offers for disadvantaged young people. We look forward to working with our network of partners during 2017/18 to enhance opportunities for disadvantaged young people to take part in sport and develop sporting habits for life.
