A Club for All
… attracting more members from the community
This workshop identifies the benefits of opening up your club, to include a wider membership base - meaning more coaches, players, officials and 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 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.
