  9. Collaboration in Disability sports

  10. Introduction Why AITC? How we see our role in Sport in Sussex…. What we can do help…. Influence for the greater good Help create opportunities for others Use brand of BHAFC and opportunities to drive more awareness/opportunities to individuals and providers in Sussex. Link up providers through networks like this one (SDSN)

  11. Albion in the Community’s Strategy Our work focuses in six key areas, as defined by our strategic pillars: Active participation Personal development Inspiring supporters Raising aspirations Community improvement Supporting our stakeholders

  12. Albion in the Community’s strategy Driving each of these is our over-riding mission: “Through the power of football and the brand of Brighton & Hove Albion FC, we are committed to delivering high- quality, accessible opportunities that improve the health and wellbeing, education and aspirations of our community.”

  13. Albion in the Community Disability department The disability department at Albion in the Community has been running our award-winning disability programme since 1997. We are the largest provider of football for players with a disability in Sussex - giving more people than ever the chance to take part in both fun and competitive sport. Currently we have 31 regular sessions 4 national teams, 14 regional teams and over 300 members. We work with over 35 SEND schools every year delivering PE and sports session and run competitive inclusive football tournaments with over 650 players attending our last Albion Cup 9000 people partaking in our disability awareness talks.

  14. Disability department We aim to… Provide the best possible opportunities for any player with a disability to participate in football and develop and progress. Offer a wide range of programmes to meet the needs of as many players as possible. Help promote and raise awareness of disability sport and football in Sussex.

  15. Why? The power of sport and the role of collaboration

  16. Disability sport, the opportunity… Why sport helps and the power of sport…. There are 11.5 million disabled people in England, accounting for almost 20 per cent of the total population, but 42% do less than 30 minutes of physical activity per week. This level of inactivity means that disabled people are twice as likely to be physically inactive (43 per cent) than non-disabled people (21 per cent). In Sussex alone there are close to 300,000 people with limiting long term health problem or disability (290,594 reported on 2011 Census data) with over 1.6 million in total (including limiting and non-limiting conditions). Given the wealth of benefits that physical activity is known to provide for disabled adults, there is a clear need to better understand what stops them from taking part in physical activity.

  17. Collaboration, Why?

  18. Collaboration - benefits Participants More choice More support available Increased social opportunities Increased physical activity opportunities (better health) Less pressure to stay with a single provider Less pressure to specialise in a sport And many more…

  19. Collaboration - benefits Providers Able to model best practice Share ideas and knowledge Improved access to new participants Increased support network Less pressure to support individuals (complex nature of some) Word of mouth a key recruitment tool in disability sport And many more…

  20. Collaboration The future….. Less funding opportunities for individual and/or smaller providers Collaborative work becoming a key agenda from top down (Sport England et al) Greater emphasis on ‘joined-up’ thinking Pressure to provide a range of opportunities to meet multiple needs Shifts in policy around social care and healthcare and physical activity creating different pressures Recognition of the value of sport/physical activity and the benefits for people with a disability Example of ‘Get Yourself Active’ Project

  21. Trends in health care Shifts in approach towards Social prescribing Holistic care and support plans Self-manage NHS England recognising the value of physical activity as part of care This is where we can benefit…

  22. Collaboration Opportunities….. So what are the opportunities? We have 50 people in the room here from …. Different providers. What can we do together?
