Current administration and provision for active leisure Very complicated Emerged over 150 years which adds to the complexity and interconnectedness. S. Williams

Specification… You need to focus on administration of recreation and sport at grass roots level. A2 spec concentrates on high performance sport

Funding Private, voluntary and public funding

How much does a gold medal cost? Historically the policy of the UK government has been to fund sport poorly. 20th century – little funding, sport low priority The Department for Culture, Media (DCMS) and sport is the government department responsible for sport.

Where can you get funds from? You are an elite level performer who wants to dedicate more time to training. Where can you obtain the funds to help you do this from? You are a local club looking to improve its facilities. Where would you try to get funds from?

The answers? A range of sources: Public funding – from the government through organisations such as UK Sport, and local councils. Private sector – via sponsorship. Voluntary sector – through national governing bodies and local fund raising activities.

Public Sector Local governments and authorities have a commitment to provide a range of public services and facilities. However, it is not compulsory to provide general leisure facilities such as swimming pools and playing fields. One of the main aims for public sector organisations is to promote mass participation in sport through high quality recreational services.

Where do local authorities get their money for sport from? The National Lottery State/Government funding Sport England Council Tax from the local public

How can local authorities try to improve participation in sport? Provide and promote facilities and services. Promote provision for under-represented groups such as women/the elderly/disabled/ethnic minorities. Provide parent-child activities. Create positive links between schools/clubs/youth services.

The private sector Privately owned companies. Trading in a profit/loss basis. People must pay membership fees to use their services, eg fitness clubs These facilities must compete with other private companies in order to make a profit.

The Voluntary Sector Clubs owned by the members who pay annual subscription/membership fees. Work on a ‘break even’ basis – i.e. don’t make a profit. Money is raised via subscriptions, fund raising, sponsorship and possibly grants.

Advantages of each sector Public Private Voluntary Cheap facilities. Available for all to use. Reasonable standard of facility. Excellent facilities. Includes a wide range of sports. Exclusive to it’s members. Meet common interests of local public. Offer the ‘building blocks’ to talented athletes on their way to excellence.

Disadvantages of each sector Public Private Voluntary Facilities may be overused & therefore poor quality. Local authorities don’t have to provide services – so they vary from area to area. Expensive – so only some people can afford them. May not meet the demands of the public – and therefore not make any money! Don’t have much money & must rely on members/ sponsors/ grants for funding. Quality of facilities may vary greatly.

Public, Private, Voluntary Copy table 13.03 page 275 Objectives of each sector

Best Value Introduced in 2000, best value is a government regime aimed at improving the quality of local government services. It was introduced by the government as a replacement for the competitive compulsory tendering (CCT) regime. The public sector have to account for how they use public tax money

Best value… Finding out what people want and expect Setting standards that match expectations Delivering services to these standards Reviewing expectations

Development plans Factors that influence sport development: Economic Cultural Geographical Facilities

Good points about UK funding National Lottery funding. Lots of opportunities to receive funds as an elite performer. Policies now in place to preserve playing fields and improve community facilities.

Bad points about UK funding Lottery funds often unequally distributed. Lack of financial equality between clubs. Commercialism can take over sports. NGB’s lose control and power as a result.

Revision for Test… Test on Tuesday to cover the last few topics: 19th C Public Schools Sport in Schools Provision in sport (public, private, voluntary)

Funding at elite level UK sport receives money from 2 streams: £ from the government. Much of this is redistributed to National Governing Bodies. About £25M per annum from the National Lottery. This pays for the World Class Performance and Events Programmes.

World Class Performance Programme Money invested in the WCPPs is used to fund: World Class Coaches Sports science and medicine back-up Warm weather training and acclimatisation opportunities Competing at International competitions (including travel and accommodation) Athlete development programmes Appropriate training facilities The post of a Performance Director to bring all these elements together

World Class Events Programme £1.6M per annum to support the costs of bidding for and staging major events. Sporting benefits include developing role models and increasing participation. Non sporting benefits include regenerating local facilities, increasing tourism and improving community relations.

Sports Council Funds £200M of lottery funding is distributed by the 5 sports councils (The home nations + CCPR) These schemes focus on mass participation as well as excellence.

SportsAid sponsorship A charity set up in 1988 to replace the Sports Aid Foundation. It gives grants to talented performers who fall outside the World Class Programme.

Sportsmatch A government funded scheme whereby new sponsorship money of new grassroots schemes is matched pound for pound.

What do I need to know? What do you need to know? Well, this is really your vocabulary….. You need to have heard of these and know what they do – a bit like the definitions we did in my other talk.

For mass participation? For excellence? For mass participation?

Why? Positive consequences : Decentralised system Autonomy, tradition, initiative, individual needs Negative consequences : Inefficiency. Why do we need to know about them……well they are the foundations upon which mass participation and excellence are built. And those two things are central to all syllabuses. Decentralised system POSITIVE OUTCOMES – clubs and associations are self-governing…or are autonomous…….they run themselves….and there is very limited interference from Central Government which does little in terms of overall policy. They can build on tradition, use their initiative and meet their own individual needs. On the other hand though, they can be inefficient. Historically – keen and committed volunteers.
