Dear Sir/Madam s12

ELIGIBILITY CRITERIA

BSPAP has identified several outcomes which will benefit sport across the community:

Is the activity/sport and delivery partner supporting:

Essential

1. Both traditional and non-traditional club links by basing activity on need and ensuring it is at the appropriate level and type for the audience 2. If working within an Education setting; engage and work collaboratively with Secondary Schools/FE/HE institutions to link them with a community sports exit route (the project must not be something that the institution is already providing; there must be added value). 3. Linking all Sportivate activity with community sports providers and continuing to support club development opportunities after the 6 week delivery period.

Desirable

4. Due to the shorter nature of Sportivate projects, (6 x 1 hour sessions delivered over a 6 week period), we strongly recommend incorporation of end of projects competitions/ festivals and/or incentives. Suggestions include: discounted membership, prize draws, equipment/ t-shirts & other clothing, free tickets to an event. 5. Volunteer opportunities (including CPD support, such as a qualification)

Funding will be granted for project costs that include

 Target sports/activities with exit routes  Paying staff to run activities  Paying Coaches - ensure that coaching rates provide value for money up to £25 per hour  Providing expenses for volunteers who help to run activities- up to £50 in kind  Resources and Materials-items to be used on activities  Hire of facilities used to deliver activities  Transport-to get young people and staff/coach to activities  Marketing/Publicity of Sportivate and individual Sportivate activities- badges, caps, posters, text messaging, website pages, design time, printing. (2-5%)  Training/Coaching Courses to develop a workforce needed to run/sustain activity  Funding Equipment – up to 20% of grant- wholly were there is a new activity taking place on a site which would normally expect. Part, where it is an existing site which would normally expect to have the equipment e.g. trampolines, goal posts, playground markings  Exceptionally-Cost of CRB’s, caretakers & employers liability insurance

Sportivate Delivery Funding can only be used to fund activities which:

 Take place between 1st April 2011 and 30th June 2011, 1st July 2011 and 31st March 2012.  Are new activities or build on or extend current provision or enhance existing good quality provision, thereby creating additional provision.

 Are targeted at young adults who are in 14-25 years age range but the specific focus should be providing activities for young adults aged 16 to 25 years of age.  Are what young adults want to participate in.

Further Information

 Delivery partners need to run sport/activities as part of Sportivate for a minimum of 6 sessions per sport/activity between (1st April 2011 and 30th June 2011) 1st July 2011 and 31st March 2012.

 Partners can deliver more than one session per week, where it meets the needs of the children and young people and all the activity/sport or provider. However the ideal scenario is that a session is run once a week for a minimum of 6, maximum of 8 weeks.

Partners wanting to engage FE and HE in the Sportivate programme can do so in 2 ways:

1. Where Sportivate projects are only targeted at students and/or staff within an educational institution (school, college or HE), the project must be delivered by another community provider brought in to run it, and a community exit route must be supplied.

2. Schools, colleges and HE can deliver Sportivate projects that are run within their own facilities (or other facilities) if these projects are open to the wider community and not just its own students and/or staff

 Delivery may take place at anytime of the day (except if the activity is based at a school for 14-16 year olds where curriculum time activity is ineligible), but must not be part of a curriculum/academic course.

Funding will not be granted for programme costs that include

 Projects that are insufficiently targeted.  Projects that are imposed on young people without them being consulted  Where relevant, projects that take place during curriculum time  Projects for the gifted and talented  Projects that already take place and hence would be double funded  Projects that have no exit routes or sustainability pathway  Items purchased before funding is offered  Item for activities that take place outside the UK  Retrospective projects- we cannot fund anything that has already started or equipment that has been purchased before hand  Overheads/Statutory items- e.g. storage of equipment/booster seats  Contingency costs-replacing damaged equipment etc  Purchase of vehicles-they can be leased or hire purchased  Buildings and refurbishment-no bike sheds, pavilions  Items with poor value for money
