Our Thriving Clubs programme offers support and guidance to sports clubs to help clubs strengthen, grow and be fit for the future.
Helping Sports Clubs in Carmarthenshire to thrive!
Actif Communities Officers can provide assistance to strengthen existing and develop new aspects of a club according to the club’s needs on the following:
With our Thriving Club programme, we will go through the following 5 steps:
Club Information
So that we can get to know a little more about your club we will ask you to provide information on current members, coaches and volunteers.
Club Assessment
We will encourage you to complete a club assessment which will identify strengths and areas for improvement within your club. This will help us support your club.
Club Night Visit
We'd like to come and visit a training session where we can chat with the coaches, parents and members to get a better understanding of the club.
Growing the Club
Together, we can look at any areas of improvements and start helping you to set achievable goals.
Ongoing Club Support
We want your club to thrive, so will provide ongoing support as and when necessary.
The above process is managed through our bespoke Thriving Clubs Portal which enables your club to upload information and gives our team an overview of the club’s progress at a click of a button.
If you want your club to Thrive, then get in touch!
insport for Clubs
The insport Club programme is part of the broader insport project lead by Disability Sport Wales, but supported through our Carmarthenshire Disability Sport Development Officer and aims to support the physical activity, sport, and leisure sectors.
Actif Communities Support
The purpose of insport Club is to support clubs in developing their provision so that it includes disabled people with clubs structures which provide the best opportunities to the community, increase participation and membership, enable larger sections of the community to become involved within a voluntary governance role, and continue to provide great sport across Wales.
Disability Sport Wales have developed a Toolkit which is intended to support the development of inclusive thinking, planning, development and delivery by the club so that ultimately, they could deliver across the spectrum to disabled and non-disabled people, potentially in a range of different formats. This toolkit is about good practice across the board, and in doing this will mean that opportunities for involvement in the sport(s) the clubs offer will increase.
If your club is interested in becoming insport accredited please get in touch with us actifcommunities@carmarthenshire.gov.uk
