The YMCA & Community Sports Partnership Network (CSPN) have been granted £2 million by the Cabinet Offices Big Society Fund to deliver Community Games in England in 2012 & 2013. The Community Games has been running in the Midlands since June 2010 and takes inspiration from its unique Olympic heritage. The ethos of the Community Games is to engage with local communities and encourage them to host events to provide opportunities for local people to celebrate sport & culture in a fun & safe environment. Community Games are delivered in local parks, schools, sport clubs or even as street parties. These can be existing fetes, events and festivals or new events. Whether it's an event for a few hours, a whole day or a series of days Community Games can have a real impact on the local community.
We are passionate about this programme and believe it's a
real opportunity for local residents of Wiltshire & Swindon to experience
sport on their doorstep and develop strong community links during the Community
Games and beyond.
We can offer support for your games in a variety of ways;
up to £400 funding, a community games toolkit, training (running an event,
marketing and engaging volunteers) and some marketing materials including
posters, leaflets, stickers, bunting and t shirts!
