SportTrades: Sport Inspires Projects.

SportTrades are passionate about this project. Sport Inspires will promote all the community work undertaking by local professional clubs covering many different sports.

This work is also done by local community groups and local authorities. Regardless of the standard of the individual, it is important that we take the opportunity that the power of sport presents us.

Through sport we can educate, we can unite and break down barriers. Our own strap line 'Unity through Sport' is so true. Sport builds bridges across divides and brings communities together as one. Most clubs and organisations provide community projects, that tackle the problems of society. Those who do not have such programmes is not through apathy, but simply economics.

Current Community projects are normally reactive rather than proactive, that is not a criticism just an observation. This policy is changing as the organisations are increasingly aware of the positives and are allocating more time and resources. The programmes are becoming increasingly more far reaching, including the whole of society and more innovative in their structure.

The projects at present concentrate mainly on the young, the lack of opportunity for social integration and activity leads to boredom and for some difficulties. Sport community projects will not eradicate social issues, but t will certainly help ease the burden and focus our youth. The projects within local authorities and other organisations must be available for all ages. With increased lifespan, exercise is important for all ages and the importance of keeping active is essential.

So what is Sport Inspires Projects from SportTrades going to do? SportTrades core business is to search for sponsorship or funding for professional to grassroots sports clubs. Our services are free to clubs, until we are successful in finding a benefactor. We then charge the club a commission. We can just as easily transfer our operation over to searching for funding for community projects, not just for the clubs mentioned, but also for local authorities and community groups.

If you have an idea at the planning stage or awaiting the green light, but finding funding difficult to attract, contact us and we will help. info@sporttrades.co.uk
