Activities and Impact North East Sport has continued its commitment to delivering high quality sports and community programmes throughout the 2023 to 2024 financial year. Our focus has remained steadfast on creating opportunities for children and young people in Sunderland and South Tyneside to enhance their physical, social, and emotional wellbeing through sport, physical activity, and dedicated youth work. Core Programmes and Services Our core services have seen sustained success and growth over the past year. Football Programmes Our flagship football programme continues to thrive, with participation numbers increasing across all age groups. The Bambino Ballers sessions for children under three have become a cornerstone of our grassroots offering, strengthening our club pathways. School Partnerships Collaboration with local schools remains a vital component of our operations. We have consistently delivered a range of services, including breakfast clubs, physical education support, and after school clubs, reinforcing our role within the community's educational framework. Holiday Camps The popularity of our holiday camps was once again evident, with high demand for places throughout the year. Our beach themed summer camps were particularly successful, and we proudly continued our participation in the Together for Children Sunderland HAF programme. Youth Work We have continued to expand our youth work provision, offering a diverse range of activities beyond football to cater to the varied interests of the young people we serve. Key Achievements This year has been marked by several significant accomplishments that have strengthened our organisation and expanded our impact. Investment in Facilities A major achievement for the 2023 to 2024 period has been the significant investment made in our facilities, made possible through successful Football Foundation grants. This development has enhanced the quality of our delivery environment and will support our long-term growth. Increased Participation We saw a continued increase in the number of children and young people engaging with our programmes, demonstrating the clear and growing demand for our services in the region. Strategic Partnerships North East Sport has maintained its strong and productive partnership with Sunderland City Council and Together for Children. Our track record for delivering high quality, impactful programmes is consistently recognised. We have exceeded targets and demonstrated exceptional performance across all collaborative projects. Our role in the HAF programme alongside Together for Children continues to be a point of success, highlighting our ability to deliver outstanding outcomes for young people. Challenges and Opportunities While we celebrate our successes, we also recognise ongoing challenges that we are actively working to overcome. Cash Flow We continue to face cash flow issues due to payment delays from various projects, with waiting times sometimes extending up to four months. We are navigating this challenge through meticulous financial planning and credit control. Lack of Capacity Financial constraints create a lack of capacity, which hinders our ability to generate additional income through expanded services and invest further in resources and staff. This restricts our ability to meet high demand in areas like holiday camps and after school clubs. Addressing this is a key priority. Data and Evaluation We acknowledge the struggle to capture all relevant data points due to limited staff capacity and the sheer volume of positive outcomes we achieve, many of which are organic and informal. We are exploring more efficient data collection processes and training to better evidence our impact.
North East Sport has cultivated strong relationships with a diverse range of stakeholders throughout the years we have been in operation, which has continued in the 2023 to 2024 financial year. Our commitment to open and transparent communication has been central to our success. Key stakeholder groups include Local Community Parents, club members, and the wider community have been actively engaged through various channels, including face to face interactions, surveys, and feedback mechanisms. Schools Strong partnerships with local schools have been maintained through regular communication and collaboration on projects such as breakfast clubs, PE support, and after school clubs. Funding Partners Effective communication and regular reporting have been essential in maintaining positive relationships with Sunderland City Council and Together for Children. Our ability to deliver against project targets, particularly within the HAF programme, has been instrumental in securing continued support. Staff Our staff are at the heart of our organisations success. We have cultivated a culture of empowerment, where staff members feel valued and invested in the organisation's goals. Regular staff meetings, opportunities for professional development, and open communication channels have fostered a strong sense of ownership and commitment. By fostering open dialogue and actively seeking feedback, we have ensured that our programmes and services align with the needs and expectations of our stakeholders. This collaborative approach has been instrumental in achieving our organisational goals.
