We are pleased to announce a range of Support, Learn and Development opportunities for all organisations to get involved in! In this section you can access a range of resources and learning.

We ask all Essex ActivAte providers to complete a self-assessment survey with your whole team, as a chance to reflect on the strengths and areas for improvement. Sporting People support us to understand collective learning and development needs, so we can best support you and your colleagues over the year.

The Support and Development guide is created from the answers in your survey and aims to support specific small and micro-organisations with understanding and identifying their people strengths, as well as planning appropriate next steps in their organisation development. You will receive this guide from the HAF team, therefore any questions you have, please contact your locality lead.

Disability Inclusion Club Hub

The Activity Alliance in partnership with Sport England Club Matters team, recently released the Disability Inclusion Club Hub. The online tool aims to continue to support clubs and organisations improve their activity opportunities, so more disabled people can be active at a local level.    The new resource enables sports clubs, community organisations, and the professional workforce to self-assess their offer for disabled people. As part of the assessment, users will understand how inclusive and accessible their current offer is for disabled people and identify areas for improvement.  

You can access the Disability Inclusion Club Hub by visiting the Club Matters website here.  

A full recording of the launch webinaris available here for anyone that wasn’t able to join, wishes to listen again, or share with colleagues.
