Implement a strategic and co-ordinated approach to marketing and communications, enabling information to be communicated more effectively.

1. Chair’s Message As I reflect on 2012 -13 it is hard to think beyond the magnificent London 2012 Olympic and Paralympic Games. Not only did we see some outstanding performances by athletes from across the world, but it was arguably one of the best Olympic and Paralympic Games ever. Certainly, no one would argue that the Paralympic Games raised the profile of disability sport in a way that has changed attitudes. Sir Philip Craven captured some of this in his speech at the Paralympic Games Closing Ceremony; “Paralympians - you gave to the world feats of speed, endurance, dexterity and skill many did not think possible. You led the world’s media to wax lyrical over your performances and left millions of Paralympic sport fans who created a ‘wall of noise’ in the venues hungry and desperate for more…these Games have changed us all forever.”

Building on the euphoria of London 2012, Sport Hampshire & IOW was, and is, fully aware of the responsibility it has to deliver a legacy for our communities. It has made a great start. In 2012 Hampshire’s Olympians and Paralympians numbered 44 in total, more than any other county in England. Some of these athletes were supported on their way by the Hampshire Talented Athlete Scheme (HTAS). Sport Hampshire & IOW has done a great job putting valuable services in place to support emerging talent and I was delighted to hear that as part of its legacy plans, Hampshire County Council has doubled the budget to support emerging athletes who are “on the road to Rio” or to their equivalent World Championships.

Volunteering was another highlight of London 2012. Games Makers were universally heralded for their extraordinary work. The Chicago Tribune remarked; “Volunteers are the lifeblood of any Olympics. But, in London, they’ve also been its heart.” Sport Hampshire & IOW has been working hard to develop its own army of volunteers and has successfully trained 1,800 Sport Makers who have provided over 10 hours each of their time to many sporting activities. Over 10, 000 hours of voluntary work has gone into the Hampshire and Isle of Wight community.

Along with Sport Makers, Sportivate is another national legacy programme. Sport Hampshire & IOW is tasked to retain 11,000 participants in a wide variety of sporting activity. Thanks to the work of all the partners in 2012 -13, Sport Hampshire & IOW exceeded its targets and were rated ‘gold’ by Sport England. Retaining young people aged 14 - 25 years old in sport activity is crucial if we are to witness the longed-for Olympic and Paralympic Legacy. It is with great pride in my role as Chair of Sport Hampshire & IOW that I am able to report so many successes in 2012 -13. The partnership is performing well, being rated green in all its monitoring areas by Sport England. We have achieved the Foundation level for the Equalities Standard, we have blended the School Games with the Hampshire Games, Hampshire coaches have won national awards at the UK Coaching Awards ceremony and a superb Sports Awards evening was held at St Mary’s Stadium hosted by Kris Temple from the BBC. My list could go on but I don’t want to spoil all the excellent articles in this annual report. Richard MillardPartnership Chair

3. Sport Hampshire & IOWSport Hampshire & IOW is one of the most successful County Sports Partnerships in England. It is one of a network of 49 County Sports Partnerships across England commissioned by Sport England to develop networks that increase participation in sport and physical activity.

The Partnership consists of a core team working to deliver the core services as outlined in the agreement with Sport England and a number of other partners who provide a vast array of other services in support of the overall vision. Local Authorities, National Governing Bodies of Sport (NGBs), Public Health and other organisations and agencies all work towards inspiring our communities to be more active, more often.

What were the results?Excellent partnership working helped us to deliver a two-day sporting extravaganza to over 3,300 young people, including over 450 young people with disabilities. The new approach has fostered excellent working relationships with new partners and has enabled us to increase our offer to young sports people in Hampshire and the Isle of Wight through both financial contributions and in-kind assistance.

Funding for Sport and Physical Activity Alliances

What were the issues? Following an independent evaluation of our adult physical activity programme undertaken in September 2011 by Prospects 4 Sport, the future role of Sport and Physical Activity Alliances (SPAAs) and the Get Active Partnership were considered. Based on the results of this evaluation, it was recommended that we should position these groups to act as the key local delivery mechanism for adult physical activity interventions and provide them with an annual budget or grant aid to empower them to make new partnerships on this agenda.

What did we do? Sport Hampshire & IOW devolved a budget of £5,000 to each operational SPAA or Get Active Partnership in the area. This was to enable sport and physical activity opportunities for adults to be offered at a localised level at a low cost for participants. It also allowed the SPAAs to directly engage with the public to assist in reducing levels of inactivity and increasing the number of adults engaging with physical activity at least once a week, in line with Sport England’s Active People Survey. Sport Hampshire & IOW assisted the SPAAs with promotion of the activities and programmes that were established through the funding.

adults with a disability for the East Hants Rural Areas Play project and Get Activ8 projects. A Pool Swim project was established in Southampton, along with club development support, and innovation projects for Southampton Solent University students. Ten return-to-sport projects were held on the Isle of Wight including Come and Try It Netball, and 22 newly trained volunteers became qualified beginners running leaders. The grant provided funding assistance for a Bike It Officer, free swimming for 16 year olds, and Street Games Clubs in Rushmoor.

Hampshire Games

What were the issues?The Hampshire Games, which was established in 1998, had to integrate a new programme of schools competition as part of the National School Games initiative. This was a logistical challenge as the Hampshire Games already involved Local Authority Sports Development Officers who worked with local clubs and schools to raise teams. With an established Hampshire School Sports Federation programme it was important that there was no duplication of competitive offer for the young people of Hampshire and the Isle of Wight. The national requirement for the School Games needed to be achieved but equally ensuring that the games met local priorities.

What did we do? Sport Hampshire & IOW formed a Local Organising Committee (LOC), comprising of partners from Local Authorities, Education, Governing Bodies and members of Sport Hampshire & IOW. The aim of the group was to take a strategic lead in planning the games programme for 2012. We consulted with newly appointed School Games Organisers, Hampshire School Sports Federation, Local Authority Sports Development Officers and National Governing Bodies of Sport.

part of the overall experience. Enthusiastic coaches set the tone – with a shared passion for the sport of basketball, these coaches were able to engage with participants. These factors helped to introduce young people to an alternative style of basketball in an environment in which they felt comfortable - a winning combination. Regular tournaments were organised, friends playing with and against friends, at all times in a spirit of camaraderie and sportsmanship. The design of IM Basketball supports the production of league tables to give an appropriate, friendly competitive edge to proceedings. However, results were not what mattered most to those involved. What was important, and what IM Basketball delivered, was large groups of young people wanting to come together week after week to play, support and help organise a sport they had grown to love or had rediscovered their love for.

What were the results? The IM Basketball - Hampshire programme was delivered across 11 out of the 14 local authorities in the CSP area (Basingstoke & Deane, East Hampshire, Eastleigh, Gosport, Havant, New Forest, Portsmouth, Rushmoor, Southampton, Test Valley and Winchester) and involved around 40 secondary schools, 14 FE Colleges and two Universities. In total 936 young people took part in six to eight week ‘IMB ‘leagues’ with 852 (91 per cent) attending regularly, only missing one session.

The success of the programme was linked to a number of factors:

Local Venues: ‘IMB Leagues’ were based on school, college and university sites making sessions easily accessible within a familiar setting. Participants were also asked to pay a small £5 fee on signing up to place a value on attendance.

The Right Coaches: It was vital that the coaches possessed the requisite technical ability and soft skills but of equal importance was energy, dynamism and personality to ensure that deliverers were able to create an excellent rapport and positive interaction with participants.

Alternative Approach: Basketball but not as they knew it! The format was 3 v 3 and games were played to music with

a focus on fun, social, recreational play to make it attractive to players, spectators and volunteers alike.

Teamwork: New friends were made as participants turned up individually or in groups and were placed with others on a team who shared their interest in basketball. Players with prior experience supported those who were new to the game.

Personal Development: Players took on roles as organisers, scorers, officials and coaches.

Reward and Recognition: Positive reinforcement between players and between coaches and players plus opportunities to win prizes.

Tiered Local Exit Routes: Following on from the Sportivate ‘IMB Leagues’ there were a number of different ways in which the young people could continue playing basketball, which meant there was a real choice and they could pick the activity that best suited them personally.

• Summer IM Basketball 3 v 3 League: A significant proportion of entrants were participants who had taken part in Sportivate

• Club Development: A focus of the project was to make sure a satellite club emerged in each of the 11 areas where Sportivate delivery took place

• Regular Competition: Each satellite club will be entering U15 and U19 teams into new central venue leagues that are being established, which will see 240 new, regular participants from the programme taking part

• Talent Development: Solent Kestrels Basketball Club is running trials for new teams for the 2013/14 season and 20 players from Sportivate have been invited to attend.

Partnerships: A successful collaboration between local clubs, coaches and educational establishments that resulted in a win-win outcome for all parties concerned. In the annual Sportivate Awards IM Basketball – Hampshire was voted as the winner of regional South East Sportivate Project of the Year 2012/13.

Sessions proved very popular in kick-starting out of school activity. They helped attract local young people that did not attend the school and have created a sustainable legacy for basketball in an area where there was not a club for young people to play at. Great weekly attendance. Some young people have gone

on to join the school team, some have gone on to play in community clubs. Overall a successful project with lots more young people engaged in basketball.

We had brilliant support from the PE Staff at Barton Peveril

who fully embraced the project and went above and beyond to promote the sessions.

What were the issuesThe New Forest Sports Development Officer identified a lack of provision for those wishing to play the sport through his support of Olympic/Paralympic exit routes and promotion of Aaron Phipps prior to the Paralympics. Subsequently he was contacted by two former patients of a nearby spinal unit with a request to set up an opportunity to play wheelchair rugby. The individuals were inspired by what they had seen at the London Paralympics and wanted to play themselves. Sport Hampshire & IOW was approached to support the development of the sport financially and through the help of the County Development Officer for Disability Sport, Peter Hull. Equipment and a venue had to be sourced, but because of the specialist nature of wheelchair rugby the equipment is bespoke, rare, and subsequently expensive. Coaching was also an issue as there is currently no recognised coaching award for the wheelchair game.

What did we do?The cost of venue and coaching was covered through Sport Hampshire & IOW’s Sportivate fund, resulting in a six week pilot session being set up in October at Totton Leisure Centre. The New Forest Sports Development Officer was in constant touch with Great Britain Wheelchair Rugby (GBWR) who supported the development of the Community Rugby Coach so he was better equipped to run the coaching sessions. They were also key to securing the loan of some second hand wheelchairs from the London Wheelchair Rugby Club. Details of this exciting new opportunity was distributed locally but also, across the county via the County Sports Partnership’s many media outlets and disability sport networks. At the end of the pilot there were regularly 16 people playing, which included eight between the ages of 14 - 25 years, seven of which went on to play for the club, two being girls.

What were the results?After the six-week pilot it was evident that we were witnessing the birth of a brand new sports club and the introduction, for the first time, of wheelchair rugby into the county. A meeting subsequently took place at Southampton Solent University with GBWR, New Forest Sport Development, Sport Solent (from Southampton Solent University) and Sport Hampshire & IOW. The result of the meeting was the agreement that the University would host the club, along with free training facilities, new wheelchairs and access to sport science support. The Solent Sharks Wheelchair Rugby Club was launched on 2 March 2013 at St Mary’s Sports Centre with a game between the Sharks, which included Hampshire based Great Britain players Aaron Phipps and Ross Morrison, and a GB select team. The team recently competed in the Great Britain Wheelchair Rugby National Championships.

Sportivate

What were the issues?Sportivate is part of Sport England’s Places, People, Play mass participation programme. Its aim is to increase the number of 14 to 25 year olds taking part regularly in sport. Lottery funding has been awarded to Sport Hampshire & IOW to support the delivery of a range of sporting activities for young people across the county. Sportivate activities not only offer young people an enjoyable, subsidised six to eight week introduction to a sport but make sure there is a clear next step so that participants can continue to attend a weekly session once their Sportivate taster has come to an end.

What did we do? The “IM Basketball - Hampshire” project built on a successful first year pilot and introduced the fresh, new IM Basketball (IMB) programme into schools and colleges throughout Hampshire. It was led by Solent Kestrels Basketball Club with support from local co-ordinators and coaches. Fun was at the heart of each and every activity and music provided a vibrant backdrop to the play. Young people were attracted to the courts comfortable in the knowledge that, regardless of ability, they were going to enjoy themselves. Music was only

4.2 Develop a Quality Workforce Key Achievements• More than 1,400 volunteers have attended Sport Makers

workshops or conventions

• 2,896 people registered as Sport Makers

• 61 Sport Makers training workshops/conventions delivered in conjunction with a variety of partners

• First Young Coaches Conference held in conjunction with Sport Solent – with over 80 attendees

• 36 coaches attended Typhoo Sport for All coaching course which helped them to adapt their coaching style to become more inclusive in their approach

• Coach Education Month provided Continuous Professional Development (CPD) for over 170 coaches

• Sport Hampshire & IOW supported more than 500 local coaches to receive coach education

• The Foundation Level of the Equality Standard for Sport was achieved.

Young Coaches Conference

What were the issues? Moving leaders into coaching was a key priority for the Coaching Hampshire & IOW strategy for 2011 - 12. Following a successful Hampshire Coaching Conference in May 2011, the organising group set about developing an event specifically for younger leaders, with the aim of giving them guidance, skills and the confidence to take their first steps into coaching.

What did we do? Working in partnership with Southampton Solent University, Sport Hampshire & IOW put together a programme aimed at achieving the following outcomes:

Learn – provide students with an opportunity to attend a Sport Makers workshop, generic coaching craft workshops and sport-specific coach education sessions

Sport Makers

What were the issues?Existing sports volunteering networks would not have capacity to support increased provision post-Olympics. While there were many strong clubs in Hampshire and the Isle of Wight many of them were already at capacity and research indicated that individuals did not have the confidence or knowledge to set up their own activities.

What did we do?Sport England’s Sport Makers initiative was designed to inspire more people to join sport’s growing volunteering network and provide information on where they could organise and access sporting activities. The programme aimed to train 1,500 Sport Makers in Hampshire & IOW and support them to complete over10 hours of volunteering within their communities. Sport Hampshire & IOW have trained over 1,800 Sport Makers and supported them to get involved in sports volunteering by signposting to opportunities and setting up new opportunities with partners. We also designed a club-centred product to encourage non-active club members to get involved in supporting increased participation.

What were the results?Sport Makers have contributed over 10,000 hours of volunteering within Hampshire and Isle of Wight sport over the past two years. We have developed a community of almost 3,000 sports enthusiasts who we communicate with fortnightly about volunteering opportunities and sports activities. There have been many individual and group successes in diverse target groups and the programme has supported engagement with local businesses and ongoing discussions about the importance of a healthy workforce.

Inspire – encourage discussion and debate about the drivers for volunteering and coaching Coach – Encourage students to create their own coaching projects, either taking the lead as coaches or engaging the right coach to deliver high-quality coaching sessions to targeted audiences.

Following keynote presentations by Olympic Diver Max Brick and other elite student athletes from Solent’s own talent development scheme, college students were challenged to discuss and identify the characteristics and competencies that make ‘a good coach’, as well as reflect on how they themselves could begin to develop these skills.

What were the results? 84 students attended the Young Coaches Conference, joined by 30 primary and secondary teachers who attended complementary workshops. All students left the day as registered Sport Makers, having made pledges demonstrating how they intended to ‘make sport happen’ at a local level.

Three colleges entered the media competition, which asked the students to create a promotional video to demonstrate the benefits of coaching amongst their peers. Four students from Basingstoke College of Technology took first prize. Since the conference these students have successfully delivered a Sportivate funded Zumba project for students at the college.

The event also gave students a first-hand experience of a university setting with Solent students and staff on hand to share information and answer questions on university life, course opportunities and entry requirements.

“Creative ideas supported with theory and students from Southampton Solent. Everything was brilliantly put together. My students are so excited and engaged and are leaving very happy”

Henry Dorling, Sports Lecturer, Barton Peveril.

Nepalese Community Football Programme

What were the issues? Research done by Hampshire County Council’s Equalities Team had highlighted a lack of distractionary activities for young Nepalese males within the Winchester area. Working with Nepalese community leaders it was decided to create a community football programme to help enhance the opportunities for the young men to engage with the benefits of sport and physical activity. Building trust and credibility with community leaders was absolutely key to the project and also being clear about expectations of trainee coaches, participants and parents were also critical to achieving successful outcomes.

What did we do? A project group was created including representatives from Sport Hampshire & IOW, Hampshire County Council, Winchester City Council and the University of Winchester. The Coaching Development Manager worked with the group to develop a Sportivate funding bid which provided £710 of additional funding to recruit and train a number of coaches from within the Nepalese community.

What were the results? In May 2012 we ran a First Steps into Coaching workshop involving eight candidates from the Nepalese Community. Following the workshop three of the coaches felt confident about coming to complete their Level 1 football coaching award. Coaching Hampshire & IOW ring-fenced funds to pay for 80 per cent of the cost for five coaches to complete their Level 1 Award. Sportivate funded the initial eight weeks of the coaching sessions with children taking part paying £1 per week. In October 2012 the club entered its first competition as part of the city’s Kick Racism Out of Football events.

Additional funds have been secured through Hampshire County Council, Winchester City Council and the University of Winchester, which have extended the project into 2013.

Inspiring Inclusion and Disability Awareness Training

What were the issues?As part of Hampshire’s Short Breaks for Disabled Children programme, Parent Voice did a survey of parents and carers of disabled children and young people about barriers to inclusion. Parents and carers highlighted that staff awareness and training was their highest area of priority in regards to recreation and leisure providers.

What did we do?We worked with both the Short Breaks for Disabled Children team and the Parent Voice Bridging Workers to offer wide a range of training opportunities:

• Sport for All courses delivered by the English Federation of Disability Sport (EFDS) – one in Basingstoke and one in Eastleigh

• Outdoor Activities Disability Awareness training delivered by the Calvert Trust – four days including specialist days for canoeing and climbing

• Amateur Swimming Association Working with Disabled Swimmers workshop (subsidised)

• General disability awareness workshops in local areas including: New Forest, Eastleigh, Test Valley, Fareham, Basingstoke and East Hants

• Inspiring Inclusion Conference – the main speaker Rob Long focused on positive behaviour management techniques

• Inclusion eLearning – Short Breaks purchased a licence for the KIDs eLearning package. This included four 20 - 30 minute modules on subjects including: Managing Challenging Behaviour, Working with Children and Young People with Autism Spectrum Disorder, Communicating with Disabled Children and Young People and more. This was offered out to clubs and centres so that they could be set up as eLearning managers and register and manage

their staff/volunteers as eLearners.

What were the results?Attendance at all sessions offered was very positive across the county. The local Bridging Workers promoted it to their local clubs and leisure centres. 40 people attended the Sport For All courses and the Outdoor Activities Disability Awareness training was attended by 49 people. The ASA workshop was fully booked with 25 people benefitting from the session. The Inspiring Inclusion Conference had over 150 attendees and provided an excellent opportunity for people to learn and improve their understanding of inclusion. A large number of leisure centres and clubs have requested access to the eLearning modules to help them develop the inclusivity of their facilities and sports.

• Over 13,000 people took part in Community Games across Hampshire and the Isle of Wight

• Sports equipment loaned to all Community Games to encourage an active environment.

• All-terrain wheelchairs made available through Country Parks and Outdoor Centres

Equality Standard

What were the issues?Sport Hampshire & IOW is committed to engaging, involving, promoting and developing people from a diverse range of backgrounds as participants, coaches, officials, administrators and leaders in sport. As part of our continued dedication to equality in sport we are working towards the various levels of the Equality Standard for Sport which will enable us to check and challenge current practices and ensure we are engaging all members of the community.

What did we do?As a Partnership, we worked towards achieving the criteria set out in the Foundation Level of the Equality Standard for Sport. This work included creating an up-to-date Equality Statement that was taken to the Advisory Board for comment and sign up. The statement was developed to encourage, promote and raise awareness regarding access to sporting opportunities with the aim of eliminating inequalities, prejudice, stereotypes and promote access for all. In presenting the work to Board, they also supported the recruitment of two equality champions who have committed themselves to supporting this area of work going forward. The Foundation Level criteria saw the completion of an equality policy and statement, an equality audit of staff and board members, a human resources audit, as well as a communications audit.

What were the results? The Partnership Advisory Board agreed the content of the Equality Statement. Following assessment, Sport Hampshire & IOW were awarded the Foundation Level of the Equality Standard for Sport in February 2013. The work towards this standard was supported by Sport England.

Community Games

What were the issues? Community Games was the brainchild of Legacy UK, a charity whose role was to create lasting impact from the Olympic and Paralympic Games by funding ideas and local talent to inspire creativity across the UK. Working in partnership with the YMCA and Legacy UK, Sport Hampshire & IOW were tasked with supporting communities across Hampshire and the Isle of Wight to host their own Community Games to encourage the local community to become active and actively involved in their environment.

What did we do? Sport Hampshire & IOW helped support local communities organising existing events and creating new ones. We offered a grant of up to £300, t-shirts, bunting, stickers, postcards, certificates and an online event planning toolkit including risk assessment paperwork. Sports equipment was also available to loan out to events including a smoothie bike and a bag of sports equipment filled with bean bags, foam javelins, frisbees and sacks. We guided each event within the Community Games framework to ensure that each had an arts and crafts element to it and included an opening or closing ceremony.

What were the results? 28 Community Games were held across Hampshire and the Isle of Wight during 2012 with over 100 people volunteering to help run and establish the events. The variety of events saw a number of different competitions that helped bring communities together including: Tug of War, Dads in Drag, Buggy Racing, Wheelbarrow Races and many more. Together, over 13,000 people visited Community Games events across the county and £822 was raised for local causes.

The community benefited from the event because it was free and brought everyone together; different ages, different cultures, families, single people, older people and younger people.Organiser

2012 Roadshow

What were the issues?Sport Hampshire & IOW identified a lack of opportunity to connect with the general public and raise awareness about who we are and what we do. A need was highlighted for us to do more to raise our public profile and increase our level of interaction with people across Hampshire and the Isle of Wight, particularly with 2012 being a special year for sport.

What did we do?Sport Hampshire & IOW invested £10,000 in a 2012 Roadshow which saw us visit 14 public events across the county, ranging from Race For Life to local festivals and Community Games. We took along activities in the form of a smoothie bike, hula hoops, instant ping, and crazy catch to encourage the public to engage with us and to try different activities. People were asked to complete a sign-up card for our newsletter and encouraged to take a range of leaflets and information on sports and activities throughout the county.

What were the results?We had 482 people complete sign up cards during the 2012 Roadshow period (from May to October 2012) which was a 26 per cent increase on our previous database numbers. Our connection to the public was strengthened through our social media outlets and via our website.
