      Help Sport for Africa boost community sport provision by working with us

    • OUR PROGRAMMES

      We work in several different ways to help community sport organisations thrive

      Seeds for Sport

      Using Small Business to Fund Community Sport

       

      The aim of the 'Seeds for Sport' programme is to demonstrate that sports organisations working with severely limited resources can create revenue by utilising existing skills within their community. This initiative aims to provide employment and development opportunities in low socio-economic areas in addition to safeguarding the future of community sport where it is needed the most.

       

      Through this programme, we engage sports organisations who are operating with minimal resources and undertake a qualification process to understand their mission, operating model, business plan and obstacles to success. Successful candidates will qualify for a seed loan toward their small business initiative, the profits from which will need to be invested into community sports provision. Upon achieving a pre-agreed level of profit, the initial seed investment will be returned and used for the next qualified project.

       

      Profits realised from Sport for Africa funded start-ups will be used to provide coached sport sessions, facilitate the purchase of sports equipment, cover the cost of food, water & transport for participants, safeguard land to prevent the sale of playing fields for housing and allow personal development opportunities for coaches.

       

      The Seeds for Sport pilot commenced in October 2019 and is wholly enabled by funds raised by the Run the Thames challenge and generous personal contributions made by friends of Sport for Africa.
