Progress in Preparing Venues 1.1 From our involvement in the appropriate ODA steering group and with LOCOG we believe that all venues required to host the Olympic disciplines of cycling are being identified, planned and developed in line with the relevant programmes. 2. Developments in Securing Funding for All Aspects of the Games 2.1 We are not party to any information in this context. 3. Legacy Use of Venues 3.1 In legacy mode the Olympic venues for the track and BMX disciplines will form part of a multi- discipline Velopark, the final details of which are still under consideration. Through our involvement in the appropriate ODA steering group we are contributing to the design process and the consultation process attaching thereto. 3.2 Pending agreement on the final design and specification for the Velopark we have lodged objections to the relevant outline planning applications in so far as they fail to take proper account of the Olympic Act and specifically do not provide an adequate or comparable replacement for the road and oV-road facilities provided to cycling for the past three decades on the Eastway Cycling circuit which has been lost as part of the Olympic Park. 3.3 We are optimistic that the present consultation process will result in an adequate and comparable replacement such that our objections can be withdrawn. 4. Impact of the Games upon Grassroots Participation in Sport,Both Before and After the Games 4.1 From a cycling perspective, the impact upon grassroots participation since the closure of the Eastway Cycling Circuit in 2006 has been negative because no replacement facilities have yet been made available in close proximity or at all. A temporary replacement facility is being constructed by the LDA in the London Borough of Redbridge which should become available in 2008 and in the meantime temporary use of a redundant dockland site has now been made available. Funding has been made available by the LDA to facilitate the use of other sites further away from the original Eastway site, both in 2007 and 2008. 4.2 After the Games it is anticipated that the Velopark will provide a boost for cycling, particularly in the South East, and if long-term Revenue funding can be secured for the temporary facility being constructed in LB Redbridge this could provide a further boost for cycling. 4.3 The sport of cycling has grown in great Britain by 60% in the past 10 years and, with adequate traYc- free and indoor facilities we expect this growth to continue and accelerate. The London Games, and particularly success in the Games for our athletes, will contribute strongly to this continued growth. 4.4 British Cycling considers that London 2012 could, and should, be the single biggest catalyst in our lifetime to lever a change in the nations’ behavioural attitudes towards sport and physical activity. There must be a collective eVort amongst all agencies and partners to ensure that we capitalise on this opportunity to accelerate the progress currently being made in getting more people active to ensure that the legacy of Processed: 24-04-2008 19:36:04 Page Layout: COENEW [E] PPSysB Job: 386236 Unit: PAG1 Ev 2 Culture, Media and Sport Committee: Evidence London 2012 is not simply Olympic and Paralympic Medal success for Team GB, watched by a nation of armchair fans, but a legacy of the most successful GB Team ever, celebrated by a nation of all ages and abilities playing more sport and being more physically active. 4.5 We are looking to position all our initiatives from 2009 onwards as an Olympic activation programme to ensure a pre-and post-Games legacy in terms of more people playing more sport and sustaining and enhancing our player pathway to ensure continued GB success in 2016, 2020 and beyond.

  • The IPC As a Change-Maker? Insights from the Institutional Theory
    The IPC as a change-maker? Insights from the institutional theory Simon Gérard Faculty of Business and Law, Coventry University, United Kingdom Faculté des Sciences de la Motricité, Université catholique de Louvain, Belgium [email protected] Thierry Zintz Faculté des Sciences de la Motricité Université catholique de Louvain, Belgium [email protected] Abstract The International Paralympic Committee (IPC) increasingly becomes a key actor in the sport movement, yet its organizational development remains under-researched. This paper explores how the IPC, since its creation in 1989, emerged from the margins of the “able-bodied” sport movement and developed new sport opportunities for para-athletes. To do so, the literature in institutional entrepreneurship is investigated as well as the two concepts of institutional boundaries and practices. Methodologically, the research is based on content analysis of archival records. The study reveals two main stages during which the IPC significantly transformed the legitimated boundaries and practices within the sport movement. Based on this analysis, some of the key institutional challenges the IPC is currently facing are highlighted and discussed. Keywords Institutional change, Institutional work, Power, Paralympic Movement, Processual analysis. Gérard, S. & Zintz, T. (2017). The IPC as a change-maker? Insights from the institutional theory. Diagoras: International Academic Journal on Olympic Studies, 1, 95–116. Retrieved from http://diagorasjournal. com/index.php/diagoras/article/view/9 95 Introduction The International Paralympic Committee (IPC) is the global governing body of the Paralympic Movement and has underwent tremendous organizational changes since its creation in 1989 (Bailey, 2008; Brittain, 2010; Howe, 2008). The IPC’s goal is to promote sport for para-athletes at the world-wide level with the ultimate aspiration of making “for a more inclusive society for people with an impairment through para-sports” (IPC, 2017).

  • Comrades of Children Overseas Monitoring and Evaluation Report 2013/14
    Comrades of Children Overseas Monitoring and Evaluation Report 2013/14 COCO is an international children’s charity that works with communities in remote regions of the developing world to alleviate the poverty preventing children’s education. We believe that investing in communities and meeting their needs will ensure that children can access the education they deserve and by giving a mother a loan to run her own business, drilling a well or building a classroom we can ensure that both the children and the community as a whole can benefit. Since COCO was founded in 2000, by Steve Cram MBE and Army Corp Major Jim Paton, over £2.8 million has been raised to fund small, sustainable, community led initiatives that enable children living in poverty stricken regions of the developing world to access education and the opportunities it provides. This year COCO worked with 11 project partners in East Africa. This report aims to show how the work we are doing is benefitting these communities around the world to build long lasting solutions to poverty. It focuses on Monitoring and Evaluation, something which we consider to be important at COCO, to ensure that the work we are doing is benefitting who it is supposed to be, and so that we can constantly learn and grow in the future. It also looks at how the projects relate to our new Schools for Life programme, which you can read more about on the next page! For more detailed information on our projects you can look at our website, or contact and us.
