Sport brings great benefits to
communities. It plays an important role in tackling health
inequality, social exclusion and community cohesion.
Most community sport is delivered by voluntary and community
organisations, though sport clubs are often seen as outside the
third sector meaning that many don't benefit from the wide range of
support and advice NAVCA and its members can offer.
Together, third sector organisations and those involved in sport
can generate synergy, share knowledge, skills, expertise and
resources to improve effectiveness and reach - vital if we are to
provide more opportunities for people who face disadvantage and
social exclusion.
