Working Together Surrey’s County Sports Partnership (CSP) is a network of education, health, sport and statutory bodies. Representatives from across these agencies meet as the Surrey Sports Board to look at the strategic direction of sport and physical activity in the county and to foster better partnership working. Its core team, Active Surrey, coordinates the CSP.

The Board has met four times this year to discuss issues such as the reduction in school sport funding and future of school sport partnerships, a Surrey response to the Government’s Public Health White Paper, planning of the Surrey Sports Conference and to devise a joint strategy. The 2011–15 Surrey Sport and Physical Activity Strategy (subsequently launched in May 2011) provides a framework for partners to work on delivering a number of shared outcomes concentrating on:

1. Increasing Physical Activity 2. Enhancing the Workforce

3. Facility Development 4. Elite Athlete Support

Thematic Working Groups will be set up during 2011/12 to audit existing work and develop improvement plans to action the four outcomes.

About Us Active Surrey is the County Sports Partnership (CSP) core team for Surrey. It is an independent organisation, funded by local and national partners and hosted by Surrey County Council. We are the strategic lead agency for sports development in Surrey and work with funding partners and stakeholders to:

• Provide support to schools, clubs, sports governing bodies and local councils

• Coordinate Surrey’s County Sports Partnership

• Underpin the local delivery of National Governing Body (NGB) “Whole Sport Plans”

• Highlight the contribution sport can make to a range of wider social outcomes.

We do all of these things to achieve our vision:

Our work is underpinned by our Values: • Credibility: Trusted to deliver a professional and honest service every time.

• Success: Making a positive difference in all the work we do and striving to exceed the expectations of our partners.

• Partnership: Working together where all feel valued, respected and supported to achieve team and shared goals.

To ensure Surrey is an active county, well connected and working as one.”

Acknowledgements We would like to take this opportunity to thank the wide range of diverse partners and stakeholders that we work with for their support and commitment to working together to further our common goals.

In particular we would like to thank those organisations (Surrey’s Borough, District and County Councils, County Playing Fields Association and Sport England) who have made ongoing financial and in-kind contributions to the core team. Extra special thanks must go to our host agency, Surrey County Council, for providing office space, human resource,

information technology and management

support. All these resources enable Active

Surrey to support partners to deliver best

practice, provide leadership in partnership

working and the capacity to manage a variety

of projects that bring in a further £500,000

per annum.



Introduction As Partnership Director it gives me great pleasure to welcome you to the Active Surrey Annual Report 2010–11, which aims to highlight some of our achievements working in partnership with Surrey organisations, clubs and statutory bodies during the last year.

Together with the wider County Sports Partnership (CSP) we are driving forward school and community sport and achieving our vision to make Surrey an active county, well connected and working as one. The development and expansion of the Surrey Sports Board over the past year shows that despite difficult economic times and the shifting sands of national policy, local organisations are willing to work together to provide a unified voice for sport.

As well as being the strategic lead for sports development in the county, we use partnership working to directly deliver a range of projects that make a real difference to sport and health outcomes in Surrey. From supporting walking programmes to developing disability sport talent pathways and from organising the P&G Surrey Youth Games to providing funding advice, working together with partners and local organisations is what we do best.

We are proud to be part of the fantastic national network of 49 CSP core teams all contributing to getting more people active. We helped 6,000 young people in Surrey take part in after-school sport and activity this year through Sport Unlimited projects, contributing to the three-year total of 975,000 that took part throughout the country.

Successes such as these have contributed to CSPs gaining long-term support from our national partner Sport England. Over the next four years, we will not only be providing a core NGB support programme but also helping to deliver a number of inspirational new 2012 legacy projects such as Sportivate, Sport Makers and the School Games.

As we look forward to the year ahead, I cannot help but be excited by what is on the horizon. We have the launch of our new website in May, the 15th P&G Surrey Youth Games in June, a new commission for School Games organisation starting in September and, of course, helping to get clubs and residents ready for the biggest show on earth - London 2012. It is a joy to work with such a proactive team and together we look forward to continuing our work with partners and stakeholders, supporting them achieving their goals.

I hope that you enjoy our annual report. More details can be found on our website www.activesurrey.com or by contacting one of our team (see back page for details).

Supporting Local Partners Much of the success of the County Sports Partnership is due to the support that Active Surrey (AS) provides to local authorities (LA), national governing bodies (NGB) of sport, charities and clubs. From presenting at meetings, organising training events and sharing best practice, we strive to communicate, connect people and manage knowledge effectively.

School SportFollowing the Government announcements regarding changes in school sport funding, we coordinated a series of meetings between local education and council representatives to discuss a strategic way forward for school sport in the county; this resulted in the Surrey Sports Board’s call for a review of the local set-up. By the end of the year Active Surrey had been commissioned by Surrey County Council to interview schools and other interested stakeholders and prepare a report with recommendations by May 2011.

Earlier in the year, we also organised the April 2010 Surrey Further Education and School Sport Coordinator (FESCo/SSCo) Conference in Walton. 50 Coordinators attended the event to hear the latest news, meet NGB, LA and AS staff, and try their hands at a variety of alternative sports activities such as parkour, street dance and climbing to take back to their colleagues / pupils.

NGB EngagementActive Surrey works very closely with all of our NGB colleagues and we are able to link them to our partners across the county, adding value to everyone’s development work in Surrey. By year end we had developed delivery plans with 31 NGBs, offering support depending on their needs. For example, jointly organising an annual conference with Surrey County Football Association and assisting Surrey Cricket with their volunteer recognition events. Our work with the NGBs continues to grow and adapt to their requirements, ensuring we help them to meet their “grow” targets.

In addition, eleven local profiles were developed to provide a snap shot of each borough and district for NGBs. These were published in November 2010 and promoted to NGB officers, complementing national resources available from Sport England.

Active Surrey has supported the formation of the Surrey Bowls Development Alliance, becoming the fifth county in the UK to access funding for over 55s across all codes of the BDA. This formation has allowed grassroots clubs to access funding; increasing club membership and raising public awareness.” Eli Karlicka-Cook, Community Sports Development Manager

This year we successfully ran the Surrey Sports Conference 2010. 65 local organisations were represented, and received a sneak-preview of the brand new Surrey Sports Park in Guildford.


We were awarded the NSPCC’s Advanced National Standard for Safeguarding and Protecting Children in June 2010, following the submission of a detailed portfolio that evidenced the excellent work we’ve been doing to raise awareness of best practice in safeguarding children and vulnerable adults in sport. This included essential safeguarding criteria being required of all Sport Unlimited projects, the production of a comprehensive toolkit for clubs, and provision of free training for LA sports development staff.”Lawrie Baker, Community Sports Development Manager

As part of our work to connect NGBs with local opportunities, our three Community Sports Development Managers liaised with LA colleagues throughout the year. So when Badminton England contacted Active Surrey to help them identify suitable facilities to accommodate a Community Badminton Network, we already knew that Guildford Spectrum were looking to develop social sport activity. We put both organisations in contact and immediately a working group was formed, hall space identified and an action plan was put in place to get the Network off the ground.


Getting Surrey Moving In March 2011 Active Surrey supported Ashford & St Peter’s NHS Foundation Trust’s week-long Walk Challenge for 200 staff members by providing pedometers, walk routes and general project support.

65 people recorded their activity, notching up over 3.6 million steps, equalling 1,819 miles! Active Surrey also provided vouchers as prizes for three winners to help encourage them to continue with walking. The challenge earned an NHS Sport and Physical Activity Challenge Bronze certificate and there are plans to repeat it again in Autumn 2011 with a London 2012 theme!

Other work included:• Promoting the Walk for Life month in September with local walk leaders

• Securing funding for way markers on Horsell Common (a fully accessible walking route)

• Supporting Spelthorne’s “Strictly” and “Back To Netball” activity campaigns

• Working with NHS Surrey to help exercise referral and weight management groups gain accreditation for their schemes.

We helped staff at Ashford & St Peter’s NHS Foundation Trust walk from John O’Groat’s to Lands End and back again in a week.” Kelly Morgan-Pugh, Physical Activity and Inclusion Officer


Elite Athlete Support As well as recognising talented performers at awards ceremonies, Active Surrey, in partnership with LA facilities, also supported 87 local athletes (in the top ten nationally of their respective sport) access free (or heavily discounted) training facilities across the county.

The Surrey Sports Board is setting up a review group in 2011–12 to better coordinate a number of athlete support schemes, including FANS, to ensure Surrey’s future stars have the best possible chance of reaching their full potential.

Disability Sport 78 young disabled people from across Surrey took part in a County Athlete Assessment Day (CAAD) in Godalming in July 2010 as part of the national Playground to Podium framework. Having been identified through school identification days held earlier in the year, the young athletes were given the opportunity to try a range of Paralympic sports. As a result, a total of 18 athletes were recommended to attend further regional training with 46 recommended to join clubs.

Playground to Podium featured 6 sports:• Athletics

• Boccia

• Football

• Swimming

• Table Tennis

• Wheelchair Basketball

Other inclusion projects:

• Supporting Surrey Cricket to write their disability strategy

• Working closely with the Surrey Special Schools Sports Association to increase the sports available to them including cheerleading and table tennis

• Supporting a Paralympic style event at the Children’s Trust where 150 young people were given the opportunity to try four new sports – boccia, golf, cricket and football.

Surrey’s CAAD was so successful that it was promoted by national partners as a good practice case study across the country.


Sports on offer in Surrey through Sport Unlimited this summer:

Providing New Opportunities Active Surrey facilitated the award by Sport England of over £147,000 to fund local projects during 2010/11. Sport Unlimited’s aim was to get more children and young people taking part in 10 activity sessions outside of school and resulted in 5,917 young people aged 7–19 years old being engaged in 135 projects in 26 different sports. 83% of these participants attended at least 6 of the sessions and 29% of participants went on to join a club as a result of their involvement.

One of our biggest successes was the Longmeadz Kickn project. The aim was to use football to engage with disadvantaged young people from the area, and to divert them away from anti-social behaviour. During the scheme all participants completed their AQA Unit Award in Basic Football Skills. Two participants have since had trials for the Fulham FC Academy and one signed up for Fulham FC’s Community Champions Volunteering Scheme.”Andrew Freeman, Assistant Sports Projects Officer

Surrey Youth Games Over 2,000 competitors from all over Surrey gathered together at the newly built Surrey Sports Park in Guildford on 19 & 20 June to take part in the county’s largest youth sporting festival. The world-class venue played host to young people aged 7–16 years old, who competed for medals and trophies across 13 different sports, representing Surrey’s 11 districts and boroughs.

The Games weekend is the culmination of months of hard work by: • LA sports development teams,

• local clubs and coaches,

• NGB and County Association staff and volunteers, and

• Active Surrey event managers.

The purpose is to introduce young people to new sports - over half of the participants were non-club members when they started training and following the Games a third of them joined a club! It also gives those athletes currently below county standard a taste of what large scale competition is like.

All 11 boroughs and districts celebrated successes by securing a range of medals:

29% of non-club members joined a club after SYG, compared to 15% in 2009.

This year we collected a series of case studies, demonstrating the impact of the Games on sport development in Surrey. The resulting examples of young people, coaches, umpires, clubs and communities who have benefited from the Games were heartwarming, and I am proud to be part of such a successful initiative.”Linda Jacks, Events Officer



Celebrating Success Sport in Surrey would not exist without the countless sport club committee members, coaches, officials, volunteers and athletes that bring their commitment and enthusiasm to the Surrey sporting community. To inspire these residents to continue what they do, it is important to recognise those who make an outstanding contribution to sport and celebrate their success.

Growing Clubs The Surrey Sports Club Forum series ran in early 2011, in partnership with LAs, sports councils, schools and voluntary services. 5 forums were held across Surrey, each one providing updates, funding advice and an opportunity for networking.

Working with the local boroughs, districts and sports councils throughout the year, the Surrey Sports Awards are the culmination for local recognition, our shortlist being made up of local borough and district winners.

As over 20% of Surrey’s clubs had now achieved Clubmark, the interim 3-level ASCA (Active Surrey Club Accreditation) scheme was drawn to a close. On behalf of LAs, Active Surrey gained a Clubmark licence to help clubs whose governing bodies do not hold the licence. We then organised a Clubmark training session for LA sports development officers to enable them to provide the best possible support to those clubs looking to develop through accreditation.

As well as coordinating a countywide network of voluntary service funding advisors within each borough/district for clubs and individuals to use, we directly assisted with 32 funding enquiries

This year’s event, held at the prestigious Denbies Wine Estate, saw a flurry of media coverage, spanning online, print and radio, and a variety of local business sponsors engaging with the local sporting community.

(providing everything from individual funding advice to endorsement letters for funding applications). Of these, 4 clubs were awarded just under £10,000 from Sport England’s Small Grants funding (to help them purchase sports equipment or deliver an activity) with more clubs awaiting the outcome of their application. We also supported the University of Surrey and Royal Holloway University of London in their successful bids for Active Universities funding totalling just under £155,000. Active Surrey has engaged with a range of partners to leverage over £400,000 of additional investment into local sport/physical activity, topping up its core funding to allow for increased provision of services.

World Champion, and Britain’s Got Talent-winning, gymnast, Edward Upcott, was the BBC Surrey Sports Personality of the Year 2010

This year’s sports awards saw our biggest ceremony yet, with an audience of over 300! It is so important that we keep working with our local authorities and sports councils to give an effective recognition pathway for Surrey’s sporting talent, whether grassroots or Olympian. This year we raised awareness of the event through our media partners BBC Surrey and achieved excellent exposure for the nominees, local sponsors and the ceremony itself, making the Surrey Sports Awards one of our flagship events.”Suzie Wall, Sports Projects Officer

It was fantastic to see nearly 200 people attending our forums and learning about new ways to grow their club. This would not have been possible without the combined efforts of the team and our partners. Thank you.”Hannah Sprake, Sports Projects Officer

The forum opened our eyes to opportunities we have been missing out on. Our next step is to put in those funding applications!” Laura, Judo Club

190 people attended the 5 forums, held across Surrey, each one providing updates, funding advice and an opportunity for networking. 88% of them rated the evenings as good or very good.



Developing Coaches and Volunteers Active Surrey coordinated a partnership approach to supporting and developing volunteering and leadership for young people aged 14–19.

The Step into Sport programme was remodelled and launched in September 2010 with 642 young people registering by the end of the financial year. Step into Sport offers a framework to support, enhance, recognise and reward young people’s volunteering efforts. We kept in touch with the volunteers through email and Facebook, giving tips on volunteering and finding them local opportunities to volunteer. We also made sure they received prizes and access to exclusive events! This engagement encouraged over 3,650 hours of youth volunteering in sport in Surrey – a huge achievement and something to be very proud of.

This year we also set up an adult sports event volunteer programme – 126 volunteers signed up between January and March 2011 and were offered various opportunities including the chance to volunteer at the 2011 P&G Surrey Youth Games.

The Surrey Clubs & Coaches Development (SCD) programme has had another successful year with a total of 1,162 coaches, club administrators, teachers and leaders attending 59 workshops across the county. Attendees now also benefit from an online booking service provided by Surrey County Council.

The SCD programme epitomises mutually beneficial partnership working between local authorities providing or organising local venues and Active Surrey providing course administration and marketing materials.” Vicki Jamieson, Business Administrator

3,650 hours is the equivalent of almost £22,000 being invested back into Surrey’s economy by our Step into Sport volunteers.”Catherine Goodger, Marketing & Communications Officer

Includes 129 registered prior to September 2010 re-launch

The advice and tips that the tutor gave us on how to deal with challenging behaviour were excellent. I put one of the ideas into action the very next day and saw an instant improvement in one little boy… an inspiring workshop!”Angie, school sports coach

The Surrey Coaching Portal provides registered coaches with a quarterly coaching newsletter with articles on funding, available workshops and thought-provoking industry topics. It also provides informal mentoring groups and job alerts for those coaches looking for paid or voluntary work; 50 coaching jobs were offered to the 200 coaches registered in 2010–11. We aim to double the number of registered coaches in 2011–12 and continue to link coach demand with supply.

Events & Activities - Outcome 3: More opportunities exist in Surrey for people to take part in sport• Enable 1,108 young people (aged 14-25) to access more sport and activity through Sportivate,

with 40% continuing on to join clubs.

• Organise and deliver the 15th annual P&G Surrey Youth Games 2011, enabling 2,200 children to take part in Surrey’s very own mini-Olympics.

• Support the organisation and delivery of the 2011-12 Surrey School Games.

• Coordinate the 2011 Playground to Podium talent identification programme for 80 pupils with disabilities.

Clubs & Facilities - Outcome 4: Open, welcoming quality clubs and facilities exist for all• Share a database of local facilities to help increase community usage.

• Organise a series of informative club forums across the county attracting over 200 attendees.

• Support all local authorities to work with at least 1 new club to achieve Clubmark.

Volunteers - Outcome 5: A coordinated volunteering pathway from school and business to community exists• Encourage 250 more coaches to register on the Portal and be matched with job opportunities.

• Develop exciting programmes that will enable 200 young people (through Step into Sport) and 370 adults (through Sport Makers) to volunteer in Surrey.

• Work with local sports award ceremonies to align their dates to allow better coordination of marketing; increasing nominations, sponsorship and media coverage.

• Further develop the Surrey Sports Awards with new categories and more nominations.
