Assessing your application

18

1 Consultation and insight

Delivery and impact2

3 Partnership and feedback

4 Sustainability


We need to know:

• How you have consulted with disabled people.

Your project should be responding to their views,

motivations and expectations.

• What the barriers to participation in sport are

there for the disabled people who will benefit from

your proposed activity.

• How you have used feedback and learning from

projects that have been delivered successfully in

the past.19




• Clear who would benefit from the project• Understood what sporting activities would

appeal • Addressed how barriers would be overcome• Explained information sources

• Funding would be used for initial consultation• No local evidence• Did not understand barriers or how to address

these• No mention of good practice


We need to know:

• How your proposals will address the needs of the

disabled people they are designed to benefit and

the barriers they face to participating in sport.

• How your proposals will enhance existing local

provision, potentially reaching new audiences.

• How many people you expect to take part in the

project and the types of environments in which it

will take place.

21




• Clear vision of how the project would be delivered

• Provided detailed delivery plans (e.g. number of sessions, resources required)

• Linked delivery plans to needs outlined in section 1

• Unrealistic estimates of impact• Did not demonstrate additionality – no

evidence the project would enhance existing provision or reach a new audience


We need to know:

• What consultation you have carried out with

sports and non-sports organisations.

• Who will be involved in supporting the delivery of

this project, either through strategic support or

financial backing - cash or in-kind.

• How you will share learning from your project to

enable successful approaches to be replicated.

23




• Identified good range of partners • Clear roles for each partner• Demonstrated how monitoring and

evaluation would take place regularly• Clear outcomes and feedback mechanisms

• Unclear who partners were or their roles• Did not address how learning from the project

would be shared• Had not adequately consulted or considered

the potential across both sport and non-sport partners


We will fund projects for up to 3 years, but we need to know:

• How Inclusive Sport funding will create a

sustainable local community sports project

after the funding is finished.

• How your project will lead to sustained

participation in regular sporting activity.
