What is Sportivate?
Sportivate will capture the excitement of sport and London 2012 to provide attractive and sustainable community opportunities in the sport of their choice for participants aged 11-25 years. Activities will last for six weeks after which participants will be able to continue at a local club or venue.
The national funding and targets for Sportivate are:
- £32 million Lottery funding (£8 million per annum)
- 300,000 young people to complete six weeks of coaching sessions
- 120,000 young people to continue playing sport regularly
Sportivate funding and targets have been apportioned to the PRO-ACTIVE Partnerships inLondon based on their percentage of the national 11-25 year old population.
South London has 164,000 young people aged 11-25 which equates to 2.39% of the national population, meaning that South London’s Sportivate funding and targets are:
- £566,430 (£141,607.50 per annum) for delivery of the programme
- 7,080 young people to complete six weeks of coaching sessions over four years (1,770 per annum)
Sportivate will commence from July 2011 and the program will run for four years until March 2015.
