Developing a centre for disability sport
Turning a vision into reality (in 500 days)
6 key principles:
• Belief – that PE, physical activity, and sport can have a significant impact on peoples lives
•Desire – to ensure this was on behalf of disabled people rather than something being done for them
• Understanding - that to achieve a goal you need a clear vision shared by all involved
• Commitment - to partnership working through being transparent and honest
• Flexibility – in an ever changing resourcing framework to create local solutions
• Determination – to make ‘something’ happen
Key barriers to the vision:
• Reduction in funding to PE and sport
• Reduction in community resources and changes to a more equity role
• Direct delivery vs capacity building of others
• Over reliance on grant aid to support direct delivery
• Disproportionate negative impact on ‘hard to reach groups’
• ‘Disability sport’ vs the disability and special educational needs community
•Protectionism within agencies over limited resources
