Have your say on the Government’s new strategy for sport! Amid increasing concerns that Britain is failing to live up to the legacy promise of the London 2012 Olympics, a public consultation has been launched to mark the start of a new strategy for sport. Sports Minister Tracey Crouch said: "Sport has such a positive impact on people's lives and I want to embed participation into this nation's DNA”. Last month Crouch also criticised the UK's "severely outdated" sports strategy and she has pledged to "rip up that strategy and start again“. A nine-week consultation has now begun in what could be a major shake-up of sports policy. With Crouch also saying that public funding for sport is a privilege and not a right, it is important that we all share our views on this new strategy whilst we have the opportunity! To view the consultation papers and to leave your comments please visit the following page https://www.gov.uk/government/consultations/a-new-strategy-for-sport-consultation
Help to get active for those with mental health problems New research by mental health charity Mind also shows almost 70 per cent of people feel their mental health makes taking part in sport too difficult.
Get Set to Go, which is backed by Sport England and the National Lottery, will support 75,000 people with mental health problems to join mainstream sports clubs, go to the gym or take up a new sport. It will help people become more active through sports projects at eight Mind centres including 2 in London; Brent Mind and Croydon Mind. If you or your club want to learn more about this work and understand the barriers faced by people with mental health problems then Mind has published new information about how to get started with physical activity and how sport can improve physical and mental health here http://www.mind.org.uk/sport
Get your club involved in the first ever European Week of Sport! The first-ever European Week of Sport will be celebrated in 31 countries across Europe from 7-13 September 2015. The European Commission is inviting sports clubs, schools, community groups and individuals to get involved and put on sport events in their communities. European Week of Sport events can be large or small – from new ideas to something you were already planning. Anything that gets people active qualifies – from tennis open days to organised walks. Registering your event here is easy , just click 'Take Part!' and fill in a few details.
Once you've entered, your details will be processed then added to the map of events happening around Europe. Organisers will also be able to access downloadable posters and other images to help them publicise the event. And there is a special incentive for the first 100 events registered in the UK! Events can take place on any day during the European Week of Sport – but you may want to time your event with one of four ‘focus days’: Wed 9 Sept: Education Focus Day Thurs 10 Sept: Workplace Focus Day Sat 12 Sept: Sport and Fitness Club Focus Day Sun 13 Sept: Outdoor Focus Day
The #BigHelpOut Campaign This new National campaign has been launched with Join In (London 2012 Olympic and Paralympic volunteering legacy charity) and BBC Get Inspired – the mission is to find 10,000 new helpers for UK sport in the lead up to December’s BBC Sports Personality of the Year.
