South Yorkshire Programme- Year 5 Supporting sport across South Yorkshire Sportivate Programme • Sportivate is a £56 million Lottery funded London 2012 legacy project • Launched in June 2011 running until March 2017. • The focus of Sportivate will be on the transitioning of participants into long term regular, sustained participation. • Sportivate is a ‘sport’ programme and will be heavily based on work with NGBs • Projects will need to demonstrate and evidence real intelligence to show there is a need for the sport. • South Yorkshire has three target areas: WOMEN & GIRLS, DISABILITY and those aged 19-25 YEARS Sportivate Delivery • WHO? Semi sporty 11-25 year olds who may not seek out sporting opportunities themselves or would not usually prioritise doing sport in their own time • WHAT? 6-8 week blocks of sporting activities to be delivered • HOW? Projects will need to ensure that enough participants are targeted and engaged in the activities to reach a retain target • HOW? At the end of the project, participants must be supported into a local club of alternative sports provision • HOW MUCH? There is no minimum or maximum amount of funding that can be applied for however projects must show value for money and will be assessed on their cost per head which is calculated (£50-£60 average, max £80 per head) Sportivate in South Yorkshire • Working through a Sportivate Steering Group and Technical Panel who, amongst other responsibilities, take all decisions on successful Sportivate projects • Made up of representatives from the South Yorkshire Community Sport Networks, NGB’s, educational establishments such as colleges and universities, youth agencies and the third sector (clubs and community groups) • Made up of 4 delivery quarters; April-June, July-September, October-December, January-March. • The process for applying will be through open commissions. There will be no area ring-fencing or funding devolution. 2 Open Commissions released annually. South Yorkshire Sportivate: Funding and Targets • Sportivate is currently open for projects looking to deliver in April 2015- September 2015 • South Yorkshire has just under £90,000 for Year 5 Q1&2 (April 2015- Sept 2015) • Applications targeted at groups WOMEN & GIRLS, DISABILITY and those aged 1925 YEARS will be prioritised. • It is unlikely Sportivate will fund projects delivering solely to young people aged 11-14 years, however if there is a clear need and demand please apply. Sportivate Funding- Projects • Sportivate Projects should aim to provide partnership funding to match against their Sportivate funding award – Cash or in-kind • Partnership Funding includes income gained from charging participants (minimal fee) • Sportivate projects will receive their full funding payment if they achieve a minimum of 75% of their agreed retain target. • For those projects who don’t achieve their retain target, only 50% of their funding payment will be made. • An up front payment of 50% is made prior to the start of delivery quarters and a further 50% is made on receipt of monitoring data through the Sportivate Portal (if 75% threshold is achieved) Sportivate- What makes a good project • Partnership approach between deliverer, NGB and identified exit route i.e. community sports club. • Identify partnership funding to support the project (cash or in-kind), including income to be gained from charging participants. • Be accessible (be at a time and venue appropriate to the target group). • Demonstrate value for money (cost per retained participant) and be based on real cost recovery. • Meet the needs of your local area and participants you intend to engage. (APS 7) • Is sustainable- consider up-skilling your workforce, maintaining long term provision or linking to a larger community club/ provider. Sportivate- What makes a good project Recent Sport England Youth Insight research contains a set of design principles to be considered when delivering the right experience for all young people in sport. It is expected that Sportivate projects will reflect these design principles so they are worth reiterating Young people are seeking experiences which are: a) Interactive b) Social c) Rewarding d) Personalised f) Creative e) Inspiring Messengers are influential on young people when they are: a) Trustworthy b) Expert c) Like me Fitting into what’s important to young people: a) People and dreams b) Interests and development c) Fun and enjoyment Sportivate- What makes a good project • Sportivate does not, for a hard-to-reach group, have to be branded as sport. If providers and deliverers feel they need to drop the prefix • Sportivate should extend its reach from those young people who are positive about sport to those who have a functional relationship with sport. It may also reach those who are uninterested in sport • Young people’s digital intuition is a super power and Sportivate should be a digital programme. Social media should be used in Sportivate and it should be ever present (not as a fad for a few weeks). The use of Sportivate’s official Facebook page and Twitter username should be encouraged.
