Welsh Sports Association Response to consultation Vibrant & Viable Places – New Regeneration Framework The potential contribution of sport, outdoor pursuits and physical recreation to regeneration of communities Sport (by which term throughout this paper we mean to include outdoor pursuits and physical recreation generally) is a vital component in helping to establish: Healthier Communities, (National Outcome 4 - 3 - (iii) - (p12) The impact that sport can have on both physical and mental health is well established through research. Obesity in both adults and children has become of greater and greater concern – particularly in disadvantaged communities. Sports encourage feelings of well-being and positive character-building in young people. They develop individual responsibility, team working, powers of concentration and social skills. Anti-social behaviour is rare amongst those involved regularly in sport. In addition sport provides an environment in which diversity and equality can flourish. Prosperous Communities, (National Outcome 4 - 3 - (i) - (p12) It has been estimated that sport, physical recreation and outdoor pursuits contribute nearly three quarters of a billion pounds to the Welsh economy, providing many thousands of jobs. Furthermore a healthier population will self-evidently mean less financial pressure on health service budgets. The profile of Wales as an excellent destination for inward investment is enhanced by sporting success and/or the hosting of major events. The soft skills acquired by young people through sport - such as self-discipline, focus and the like - make them more attractive to employers. Sport also provides an opportunity for adults to learn new skills through coaching or volunteering in sport, that can then be used in future employment in the community. Learning Communities (National Outcome 4 - 3 - (ii) - (p12) Sport has helped some children and young people who have become disengaged from school to return and begin to reintegrate into school. Providing new skills and inspiring children and young people, sport can be a powerful vehicle to improve educational attainment and skill levels. Bearing in mind the above we suggest that the following topics need to be considered when considering a comprehensive regeneration strategy Local Authority Duty Currently Local Authorities have no legal obligation to provide sport/leisure services. Consideration should be given to legislation to provide that they have a legal obligation to so provide. This is not with a view to seeking more money – it is well accepted that Local Authorities will have less resource going forward- but it would at least compel them to consider this area properly - and not merely to cut it simply because it is the easiest target. We agree that partnerships are vital. Should Local Authorities cut their sport & leisure departments then the opportunities for public/voluntary sector partnerships which often produce excellent outcomes will be diminished Inculcating the habit of sport at school There needs to be significant progress in regard to schools sports provision and voluntary sector links so as to create a habit of sport - particularly at primary school level - and to open greater community access to school facilities. This is critical in disadvantaged areas where sometimes parental support is weak and facility use is prohibitively expensive Volunteering Coaches inspire and recruit as well as providing coaching itself. As state resource diminishes It is clear that going forward there needs to be greater numbers of voluntary community-based coaches. There should be ready access to support for voluntary coach recruitment training and up-skilling especially in disadvantaged areas. Generally every effort must be made to support and encourage local volunteering Leverage via the private sector There should be a detailed examination of practical ways to leverage private sector partnerships and support for sports in communities. Simple and inexpensive ideas such as creating an information hub where local needs can be matched to potential donors/partners can be examined. Procurement processes could be encouraged to give even greater weighting to community benefits of this kind Removing barriers It is vital that legislation does not create barriers to voluntary opportunities. By way of example we have some concerns in this regard relating to the proposed application of the Welsh Language Standards on the ability of small organisations to access support The Welsh Sports Association The Welsh Sports Association (WSA) is the recognised independent voice for sport, physical recreation and outdoor pursuits in Wales Since its foundation in 1972 the WSA has been the ‘umbrella’ organisation for National Governing Bodies (NGBs) of sport in Wales, providing them with representation and support. Currently over 60 NGBs are members of the WSA with an estimated 500,000 plus individual members under their banner. As well as being the voice for the sector the WSA offers a wide range of services to its members including guidance, training, information, governance support, financial management, development support and other services Philip AveryWelsh Sports Association October 2012 2.

  • Revitalizing the Celtic Languages
    Revitalizing the Celtic Languages Oavid Crystal Honorary Professor of Linguistics, University of Wales, Bangor. This is a discussion of the chief linguistic factors fostering or impeding an outcome of maintained language diversity. In addition to external factors, such as globalization, which initiate the process of endangerment, there are internal fac• tors, arising out of the very nature of the languages people are trying to protect. Ch ief amongst these are purist atti• tudes, which alienate important groups, especially young people. VVhat is needed is a view of language which recog• nizes its multifunctionality, values all varieties, recognizes the varying competences that enter into bilingualism, and pays special attention to young people. These factors need to be integrated into a philosophy of language manage• ment. This paper was first given to the XI Annual Confer• ence of the North American Association for Celtic Lan• guage Teachers, University of Wales, Bangor, 11 June 2005 Introduction VVhat are the chief linguistic factors fostering or impeding an out• come of maintained language diversity, and how should these be evaluated? If a comparison of other subjects, such as science and religion, is anything to go by, a systematic discussion of these fac• tors requires an appropriately developed philosophy - in our case a philosophy of language management. I use the term 'language management' to include all the principles and procedures we need to have in place in order to look after a language or languages, within and across communities. The data which would inform a theory of language management come from several sources, such as language policy and planning, language teaching and learning, multilingualism, and sociolinguistics.

Since I was elected onto the Council in 2007, the Council has grown both professionally and in stature and I believe we are ready to take on the challenge of shaping local services for our community. The introduction of the Wellbeing of Future Generations (Wales) Act 2015 has seen the Council adopt the 7 Wellbeing Goals for Barry: • A prosperous Barry • A resilient Barry • A healthier Barry • A more equal Barry • A Barry of cohesive communities • A Barry of vibrant culture and thriving Welsh language • A globally responsible Barry I am confident that we can face the challenge and deliver these goals, making a positive impact on the wellbeing of our residents. We will continue to work with partners, including the Vale of Glamorgan Council, community groups and organisations and local businesses to develop new initiatives, as well as maintain and deliver our services, such as the Merthyr Dyfan Cemetery and the Pioneer Hall in the centre of Town.
