Is your investment creating lasting change?
The difference between a programme and a movement is alignment.
Across the UK and around the world, organisations are investing in sport and physical activity to reduce crime, improve health and strengthen communities. Much of this work makes a real difference. But too often, good projects remain isolated, short-term or disconnected from the wider conditions needed for lasting change.
The Sport for Safer Communities Scorecard helps you assess whether your investment, strategy or portfolio is creating the conditions for long-term impact.
It looks beyond individual activity to explore how well your work is aligned across four key areas: investment, evidence, partnerships and policy influence.
The organisations creating change at scale are not simply funding more activity. They are connecting projects, places and partners into a more strategic approach, one that can influence systems, strengthen practice and create impact beyond any single programme or organisation.
Complete the scorecard to see where your approach is strong, where gaps may be limiting progress, and where to focus next.
