Introduction 1.0.1 Substance were commissioned by Lionel Road Development Ltd to provide some further information about the value and distribution of the community benefits that are currently delivered by Brentford FC Community Sports Trust and the Griffin Park Learning Zone. 1.0.2 The work follows the production of Community Impact Report researched and written by Substance in April and May 2013. 1.0.3 This report outlines: • An estimation of the value of the work undertaken by Brentford Community Sports Trust (BFCCST) and Griffin Park Learning Zone (GPLZ) in 2012-13 • An estimation of the future value of work undertaken by BFCCST and GPLZ based on estimated increase in participants and outcomes identified in the first report • Digital mapping of venues and organisations currently engaged by BFCCST and GPLZ 2. Methodology 2.1 Collecting Data - Views 2.1.1 The bulk of data used for this valuing exercise was collated using Substance’s Views software and includes data in the financial year 2012-2013. 2.1.2 Views is a state of the art project management and impact reporting platform developed by Substance. Views is used by several hundred statutory, voluntary, charitable and private sector organisations who deliver personal and social development outcomes. Developed with backing from NESTA and the Cabinet Office it helps both frontline deliverers and funders/commissioners to assess and improve what they do. 2.1.3 Views has been developed by Substance , an experienced social research co- operative with a deep commitment to, and understanding of, the latest developments in impact measurement as well as the pressures on front-line delivery organisations. Views reflects this knowledge as much as the conventions of the software development community, enabling the evolution of a product that is driven by users’ needs. Views is a secure, fully encrypted and password protected web based application that has passed Government penetration tests and demonstrated compliance with CESG GPG 13. Substance is registered as a data handler with the Information Commissioner’s Office (ISO number: Z9541305). It also holds ISO 27001 Information Security accreditation. 2.1.4 Views has quickly become established as a market leading impact measurement tool and is now being used to monitor the effectiveness of hundreds of projects and programmes funded, managed or delivered by: the Greater London Authority, London Boroughs of Greenwich, Southwark and Lambeth, Manchester City Council, the FA Premier League Charitable Trust, Football League Trust, Catch-22, Business in the Community, P3, Greenhouse, Sported, Elfrida Rathbone Camden, Glasgow Council on Alcohol, the Metropolitan Police, Groundwork UK, Origin Housing, Liverpool Housing Trust, and many others 1. 1 For a list of Views users, see Appendices 3 2.1.5 In football, Views is used by all professional football clubs in the Premier and Football Leagues. Both the Premier League Charitable Trust and the Football League Trust (of which BFCCST is a member) utilise Views with member clubs and as an overall programme level tool to monitor work, participants, outputs and outcomes. 2.1.6 BFCCST has used Views and its predecessor, SPRS, as its data management and monitoring and evaluation system since 2006. 2.1.7 In order to capture activities not recorded in Views we also used the Sportworks Light tool, developed as part of the Sportworks research for the Sported Foundation, to enable activities where only aggregate attendance data was available. 2.2 Data 2.2.1 For Brentford Community Sports Trust we used Views to process data relating to 409 projects delivering 5,540 sessions and attracting a total attendance of 110,875 by 14,537 individual participants from 1 st April 2012 to 31 st March 2013. This was supplemented by our use of Sportworks Light to process data relating to a further 19 projects delivering 79 sessions and attracting a total attendance of 10170. 2.2.3 For the Griffin Park Learning Zone we used Sportworks Light to process data relating to 40 projects delivering 126 sessions and attracting a total attendance of 1,911. 2.3 Estimating Value - Sportworks 2.3.1 Research Basis 2.3.1.1 The approach adopted in this valuing exercise is based on comprehensive research undertaken from 2010-2013 by Substance for the Sported foundation. This research sought to explore new ways of valuing the impact of sport for development work of the kind that BFCCST and GPLZ both adopt. 2.3.1.2 To see a full explanation of the approach developed and the research basis for the current valuation exercise, please see: Crabbe, T (2013) Sportworks: Investing in sport for development- creating the business case to help change the lives of disadvantaged young people in the UK, London: Sported. 2.3.1.3 The full research report is available as a free download at: http://www.sported.org.uk/media/60913/003221_sw_research_report_highres.pdf 2.3.1.4 Sported is a foundation established as a result of the legacy promises of London 2012 which vowed to use sport to change the lives of young people. It is now the largest organisation supporting thousands of community and grassroots organisations across the UK who deliver sport for development. Established by Sir Keith Mills GBE, Deputy Chairman of London 2012 and Chief Executive of the London Olympic Bid, Sported has over 2,300 Members, has distributed over £2.4 million in grants to date and through providing support to its Member organisations, is giving well over 200,000 young people an opportunity to access sport. 2.3.1.4 In 2010 Substance were commissioned by Sported, to conduct a comprehensive piece of research, creating the business case for investing in sport for development work for disadvantaged young people in the UK. The key objectives of the research were to: • Assess and demonstrate the value of the sport for development sector 4 • Identify how to improve the planning and effectiveness of delivery across a range of social policy domains 2.3.2 Approach to Valuing Sport’s Impact 2.3.2.1 The approach to determining the financial value of Brentford’s work is based on detailed research into the impact that sport for development projects have in reducing the risk of seven negative outcomes occurring and the proportionate reduction in the financial burden to society associated with: i. Crime and anti-social behaviour ii. Educational attainment iii. Educational attendance iv. Substance misuse v. Wellbeing vi. Fitness vii. NEET 2.3.2.2 The data valuing model that underpins Sportworks was based on the use of a triangulated approach that drew on three principal sources: i. High quality social policy research relating to risk and protective factors in each of the specific social policy areas ii. Correlations between programme activity and the achievement of different outcomes drawn from data relating to over 160,000 participants in sport for development projects over a five-year period iii. Case study process evaluations with ten sport for development projects identified as contributing to the specified outcomes. 2.3.2.3 Based on the demographic profile of participants and the profile of work delivered the data-valuing model generates a risk score (or assessment of the likelihood of participants facing each problem) and an impact score (or assessment of the degree to which that risk will be reduced by the activity). Any reduction in risk, when taken as a proportion of the cost to society of a negative outcome occurring if no activity took place, allows us to produce an estimated cost saving. For example, if the cost per school truant is £4,000 per annum and a project reduces the risk of participants truanting by 5%, the saving to society will be £200 per participant per annum. 2.3.2.4 Sportworks was piloted with 3,888 projects from 198 agencies over a six-month period up to 31st March 2012 and following reviews by Professor Fred Coalter and Professor Simon Shibli was launched by Sir Keith Mills at a high profile event hosted by Deutsche Bank in May 2013. It is now being used by over 50 projects and trialled and considered as a social valuing model by Sport England, Sport Wales, Sport Northern Ireland and Sport Scotland. 2.3.2.5 Using data entered into the Views Sportworks application and Sportworks Light by BFCCST and GPLZ, we were able to estimate the value of the impact of the work of BFCCST and GPLZ in 2012-13.

  • PLAYING PITCH STRATEGY Action Plan Update
    LONDON BOROUGH OF RICHMOND UPON THAMES PLAYING PITCH STRATEGY Action Plan Update March 2019 LONDON BOROUGH OF RICHMOND UPON THAMES PLAYING PITCH STRATEGY – Action Plan Update Purpose of this document This document relates to, and should be read in conjunction with, the London Borough of Richmond upon Thames Playing Pitch Strategy (PPS), which was developed for the Council by Knight, Kavanagh & Page (KKP) and published in March 2018. Monitoring and updating the PPS forms an important part of the planning process, with guidance from Sport England recommending that the actions identified within the Strategy are reviewed on an annual basis. In light of this, the Council participated in a ‘Stage E’ meeting in March 2019 with representatives of Sport England, Sport Richmond, the England and Wales Cricket Board (ECB), England Hockey, the Football Association (FA), the Football Foundation, the Lawn Tennis Association (LTA), and the Rugby Football Union (RFU). The intention of this meeting was to monitor the delivery of the recommendations and action plan identified in the PPS, and to highlight emergent issues and opportunities. This meeting was not intended to review the overarching strategic recommendations identified within Part 5 of the PPS, which are considered to remain applicable and relevant. Guide to using this document The site by site action plans identified within ‘Part 6’ of the Playing Pitch Strategy have been replicated in the tables below, each of which covers one of the three study areas utilised in the original assessment study (Hampton & Teddington; Richmond; and Twickenham). For reference, these tables are identified on pages 45-51, 54-59, and 62-65 of the PPS, respectively.

  • December 2002
    DECEMBER 2002 Christmas without carols would surely seem like cake without icing, or turkey without stuffing - somehow incomplete. But have you ever stopped to think what we are singing about in carols? Carols were originally dance tunes linked to all kinds of festivals throughout the year and not just Christmas. Somehow, their folky feel conveyed a sense of joy and was easily identified by people. As people recognised the dance, the music and words so they were passed on through families and they became 'traditional'. However, the danger with 'traditional' is that it gets stuck and loses its connection with our lives, for dead tradition is nothing but nostalgia. I came across these words by Philips Brooks, the author of 0 Little Town of Bethlehem and Bishop of Massachusetts. At Christmas 1805 he was visiting Bethlehem and he says 'I remember standing in the old church, so close to the spot where Jesus was born and the whole church was ringing with splendid songs of praise to God .... telling each other of the wonderful night of the saviour's birth'. So he wrote the now famous and traditional carol. o Little Town ofBethlehem How silently, how silently How still we see thee lie The wondrous gift is given Above thy deep and dreamless sleep And God imparts to human hearts The silent stars go by The blessings ofhis heaven. Yet in thy dark streets shineth No ear may hear his coming The everlasting light But in this world ofsin The hopes and fears ofall the years Where meek souls will receive him still Are met in thee tonight.

This is often completely normal and does not necessarily mean they have ADHD. Typical symptoms of ADHD include: Inattention e.g. being easily distracted or losing focus Hyperactivity e.g. restlessness, constant fidgeting or over-activity Impulsivity e.g. acting or speaking without thinking Impaired executive functions which are responsible for a) organisation & activating work b) sustaining focus & attention to tasks c) regulating alertness, effort & processing speed d) managing frustration & modulating emotions e) utilising working memory & accessing recall f) monitoring & self-regulating actions Symptoms of ADHD tend to be first noticed at an early age, and may become more noticeable when a child’s circumstances change, such as when they start school. Most cases are diagnosed in children between the ages of 6 and 12. Childhood ADHD is more commonly recognised & diagnosed in boys than girls. Girls with ADHD often have a form of the condition where the main symptoms relate to problems with attention rather than hyperactivity, which can cause less noticeable symptoms.
