Shaped by Extensive Real-World Experience

The Sport for Safer Communities Scorecard has been meticulously crafted by the Alliance of Sport, drawing upon extensive hands-on experience in collaboration with governments, global institutions, funders, sports organisations, and community partners. Through the strategic use of sport and physical activity, our collective efforts aim to build safer, healthier, and more resilient communities.

Our collective impact initiatives have supported over 250 organisations across six countries and have played a pivotal role in unlocking more than £8 million in funding.

Through programmes focused on youth crime prevention, the criminal justice system, public health, policy development, research, and international advancement, we have gained invaluable insights into the factors that enable effective initiatives to flourish beyond isolated projects, as well as the obstacles that can impede progress.

The Scorecard translates this wealth of experience into a practical, user-friendly tool that empowers you to evaluate your approach, unify your stakeholders, and concentrate on cultivating the conditions necessary for enduring, positive change.
