Social Inclusion in Oxford An overview of our work in Oxford The High Sheriff Social Inclusion programme in Oxford, utilises the power of sport to create positive youth development pathways for the most hard to reach and vulnerable young people. Our Success Launched in 2014 in collaboration with Sport England, the (then) High Sheriff Tony Stratton and Oxford City Council, the programme has engaged over 3000 participants so far. At year end 2018, 43% of the recorded participants were female, 37% were disabled and 34% were from BME groups. The unique partnerships developed between us, the High Sheriff, local businesses and Oxford City Council has helped to achieve the following outcomes: GROWTH - allowing young people in disadvantaged areas to benefit from access to high quality community sport SUSTAINABILITY - ensure Access Sport continues to operate within Oxford and the sports clubs continue to thrive within the priority neighbourhoods YOUTH DEVELOPMENT - developing a route for young people to acquire skills and abilities for a successful future INCLUSION - engaging more inactive groups including women and girls, disabled people and black and minority ethnic groups In 2017 the programme won the Oxfordshire Sport and Physical Activity Award for Sports Development Project of the Year. Looking Forward Now in Phase three we intend to engage 2500 new participants , create new coaches, unearth new volunteers and provide access to training and qualifications. We will be working with 15 new clubs in order to deliver this. Here's a snapshots of our current group of partner clubs.
