We value and organize sport to local government and communities. Sports can play a role in bringing communities together, having a social and cultural impact, developing social capital and reducing crime and anti-social behavior.
Regular involvement in sport can benefit individuals and communities and contribute to a range of positive outcomes including:
-
More local people participating as volunteers in community life
-
Local people having a greater voice and influence over decision-making
-
Increased third sector capacity to own community assets and to manage and deliver services
-
More cohesive, tolerant and inclusive communities that value diversity
-
More sustainable communities with local pride and a sense of place
-
A reduction in youth offending and anti-social behavior
-
An increase in culture of respect and tolerance among young people
-
A reduction in crime and in alcohol and drug misuse
-
A reduction in the fear of crime.
