We want to improve sport and well-being opportunities for disadvantaged children and young people through social sport clubs. We want to map and support existing initiatives, create networks, promote exchanges and disseminate the concept of social sport clubs. The aim is to achieve equitable participation, effective policies and sustainable impact by integrating wellbeing initiatives while promoting holistic development and inclusive practices within local communities and policy frameworks.

The project will conduct a comprehensive literature review, map social sport clubs and local policies, and develop a pilot guide. Pilot programmes will be implemented in 4-6 social sport clubs, involving local policy makers and creating learning networks. Monitoring and evaluation will track progress and impact, while a sustainable valorisation plan, a final publication and a final conference will ensure the long-term dissemination of the project outcomes to create lasting change.

The project will produce comprehensive literature reviews, informative mapping of social sport clubs and local policies, and a practical guide for pilots. Pilot programmes will be implemented, monitored and evaluated to demonstrate positive impacts on well-being and sport participation. The project will result in evidence-based findings, a sustainable valorisation plan, a final publication and a stakeholder conference to disseminate the findings and promote sustainable change in policy and pract
