Link with Your Local Organisations
Did you know that only 18% of East London pupils participate in activities run by clubs linked to their school, compared with a UK average of 27% (Pro Active East London, 2007)? There are various reasons for this. One reason may be that the children or young people are not being engaged correctly by these sports clubs. It may also be due to many clubs specialising in one or very narrow fields of sports. If you have a sporting event like sports day or you want to organise competitions it is a good idea to contact local organisations. The benefits of linking with local organisations include:
- Possibly being offered FREE services
- Having the input and support of professionals with expetise
- The introduction of new, modern and innovative extra curricular activities
- Increase community cohesion
- A helping a hand with staging competitions & tournaments
- Bringing in professionals who are seen as role models to children and young people
- Given extra help from volunteers affiliated with the organisation
- Improve the low sports participation rates
So go beyond the borders. Contact local organisations and see what FREE services they may have to offer.
