BLM Statement Final Branded
Sport and recreation sector commit to tackling inequality The appalling death of George Floyd, the global protests that have followed and the powerful message of the Black Lives Matter movement has made every section of society take notice and confront an ugly truth. Sport and recreation has an influential role to bring about meaningful change and this period has rightly led the sector to reflect, listen, question, learn and openly discuss how to take positive action. It is acknowledged that up to this point, we have not done enough. It is time to confront racism and inequality that exists across sport, from grassroots participation through to the boardroom. Research by the Sport and Recreation Alliance (2018) showed that four in ten (40%) of BAME participants have endured a negative experience in sport or physical activity settings, more than double that of white participants. A 2020 Sport England report demonstrates that just over 50% of black people in England meet the recommended levels of physical activity each week. The Diversity in Sport Governance report (2018/19) identified there is only 5% BAME board representation across Sport England and UK Sport funded organisations. Constructive work has already been started to address a number of these problems including a committed effort to increase boardroom diversity, additional funding to tackle inequality and an array of inspiring inclusiveness projects from across the sport and recreation sector. This can only be seen as the start. Systemic change must be made at all levels so that we can become truly reflective of our wonderfully diverse society. We can no longer rely on black role models at the elite level speaking out, we must join together to become better and to support every member of the sport and recreation community. -

The report looked at at: 1 The whole team 2 Individual sports 3 The funding model This report was pulled together in light of recent events in an attempt to help drive a conversation around diversity within Olympic sports. This report does not seek to challenge the effectiveness of the system but the fairness of it.

Scottish Disability Sport - the First Fifty Years Richard Brickley MBE Foreword
Scottish Disability Sport - The First Fifty Years Richard Brickley MBE Foreword I was delighted to be asked by Chief Executive Gavin Macleod to record the first fifty years of Scottish Disability Sport, to mark the occasion of the 50th Anniversary of the Association. Initially the project was intended to be small but the more I researched, the more it brought back memories of great athletes, superb volunteers and great times. I became determined to try and do justice to as many as those great people as possible. I am certain I shall have forgotten key people in the eyes of others and if so I apologise profusely. For almost four decades SDS has been for me a way of life. The volunteers I have had the pleasure of working with for almost three decades are those I remember with great fondness, particularly during the early years. I applaud the many athletes who contributed to the rich history and success of SDS over fifty years. Outstanding volunteers like Bob Mitchell, Mary Urquhart, David Thomson, Jean Stone, Chris Cohen and Colin Rains helped to develop and sustain my passion for disability sport. I have been privileged to work with exceptional professionals like Ken Hutchison, Derek Casey, Liz Dendy, Paul Bush, Bob Price, Louise Martin, Sheila Dobie, Fiona Reid, Eddie McConnell, Gavin MacLeod, Mary Alison, Heather Lowden, Lawrie Randak, Tracey McCillen, Archie Cameron and many others whose commitment to inclusive sport has been obvious and long lasting. I thank Jean Stone, Jacqueline Lynn, Heather Lowden, Maureen Brickley and Paul Noble who acted as “readers” during the writing of the history and Norma Buchanan for administrative support at important stages. -

From Rivalry to Salvation the Seventh
From Rivalry to Salvation The Seventh Sunday of Easter Sunday, June 2, 2019 The Rev. Paul McLain ‘Do not harm yourself, for we are all here.’ In the Name of the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. Amen. The 1981 movie Chariots of Fire tells the story of two very different men. Harold Abrahams was the son of a wealthy financier. He went to the best prep schools in England, and did his collegiate studies at CambridGe. Despite beinG in the best possible educational settings, Harold could see in a dismissive Glance his way, a muffled whisper amonG his classmates, and in the occasional cuttinG remarks that he was perceived as somethinG less than the others. You see, Harold was Jewish. And he learned the hard way that the corridors of power in British society were reserved for Protestants. He resolved to be academically brilliant and to be the fastest runner at any track meet. Harold saw runninG as a weapon – a weapon aGainst prejudice towards him for beinG a Jew. Eric Liddell was born in China, the son of devout Christian missionary parents. He too had a Gift for athletics. Eric was a star rugby player and ran track for Edinburgh University and for Scotland. He became known as the FlyinG Scotsman. After his matches and track meets, he would speak to Groups, especially younG people, about how the Christian faith is much like runninG a race, a metaphor the apostle Paul often used. Eric said that when he ran, he could feel God’s pleasure. He saw running as a way to share the good news of Jesus.
