Durham and Chester-le-Street Community Sport and Physical Activity Network Area Plan - Executive Summary

This document summarises the area plan for Durham and Chester-le-Street, developed through the Community Sport and Physical Activity Network and wider partners, and the local information used to inform it. A full version of the document is available at: www.durham.gov.uk/sport

Durham and Chester-le-Street - Our Area in Summary The Durham and CLS area is bordered by Ouston to the north, Grange Villa and Bearpark to the west, Bowburn to the south and Ludworth and Fencehouses to the east, with a total population of around 119,000. The area includes the administrative capital of Durham City and the large town of Chester-leStreet.

Durham is a mix of rural and urban areas, benefiting from a good range of leisure facilities, including significant sports facilities owned by Durham University, as well as public green space, public rights of way and active sports clubs: l 8 dry-side sport and leisure facilities (5 local l l l

Whilst it is clear that the area is well served by facilities, challenges remain in terms of transport, affordability and accessibility, coupled with a very mixed demography and diverse interests.

Durham and Chester-le-Street Programmes - A ‘Snapshot’ of Current Provision and Investment in 2013/14 The area benefits from a range of initiatives and programmes supported with investment into sport and physical activity: Active Lifestyles l To date 733 adults have received a community health check by the Check4Life teams. 725 people with a health issue or risk factor have been referred to the Exercise Referral Scheme to support them back into a regular activity programme. 955 people with a BMI over 30 were referred to the WeighLess Programme. l 34 % of clubs commissioned through the ‘Move into Sport’ programme (which aims to re-engage inactive adults into community sports clubs) are within Durham and Chester le Street locality, proportionately higher than other areas. l 15 primary schools were engaged with FISCH (Family Initiative Supporting Children’s Health), a health intervention programme to target child obesity, with 743 young people benefitting. l The Healthy Horizons project, targeting physical activity sessions at adults 40+ had 457 new people, with 60% still active in the programme after 6 months. l 422 individual young people aged 5-18 accessed a weekly high quality sport or physical activity recreational community programme through ‘Join in’, Durham County Council’s Olympic legacy programme.

Provision is predominantly in the Chester le Street AAP areas to address low participation rates and high levels of childhood obesity. l The locality benefits from a high quality school

sports partnership programme to support primary school PE and School Games. l Walk 4 Life organises 5 weekly short walks in the area, Run England has established one recreational running group in Chester le Street.

There is an affliated running group in Durham City and established Park Runs in both areas. l The Wellness on Wheels initiative is well established with five community gyms based in rural settings. All are managed by local volunteers, supported by Durham County Council Community Physical Activity Officers.

Great Lumley has the highest number of members in the county (over 800) and the highest number of trained volunteers. l Cestria Community Housing in partnership with the Foundation of Light deliver Kicks sessions two nights a week where young people aged 819 participate in various sporting activities.

Player pathways/sporting potential l 5 new clubs or club sections have been established and supported by Durham County Council over the last 12 months to meet growing demand in netball, athletics, cricket and table tennis. l Two satellite clubs have been established by County Durham Sport at Belmont - Boxing and DCBC - Table Tennis. l 25% of 331 sports clubs in County Durham engaged in the Club Durham scheme are from this area. l Durham University hosts National Governing Body High Performance Centre programmes in the sports of cricket, fencing, lacrosse, rowing and tennis. In addition, the men’s basketball team competes in the British Basketball League, the women’s football team play in the FA Women’s Super League and the men’s and women’s hockey teams compete in the England Hockey National League programme. The University hosts a number of local community based clubs and has a thriving community programme with over 250 students supporting community sport initiatives throughout the year. l 350 sports based volunteers registered with Volunteer Durham, accessing £3,839 in training and qualifications to support quality coaching.

10 coaches completed NGB Level 1 qualifications, 11 coaches completed NGB level 2 qualifications plus 85 coaches accessed a total of 263 CPD courses. 59 coaches registered with County Durham Sport Coaching Network.

School Games. 10 school clusters are currently engaged in a school sport programme to promote high quality PE and school club links.

The School Sports Partnership supports 100% of primary schools to develop a quality PE programme and deliver the Primary School Premium targets.

Out of approximately 2500 participants 245 young people aged 5 to 11 went on from a school session to join a community session or sports club.

There are three disability sports clubs in the locality but few opportunities for disabled people to access a mainstream community sport club structure.

Of the 10 priority sports for the county a player pathway is in place from local grassroot sport into a countywide performance club for Swimming, Gymnastics, Cricket, Football and Running. Durham & Chester le Street has the strongest pathways out of all 5 localities due to it’s excellent club structure.

Of 23 elite athletes engaged/receiving support through the Durham Institute of Sport (DIS), 11 athletes (48%) are either living, studying or a member of a club within Durham and Chester le Street - the highest percentage of athletes from any given locality.

Funding investment l The three Durham and Chester le Street Area Action Partnerships have supported 10 sport and physical activity programmes with £99,536 in grant support. l As part of the Club Durham support scheme £35,420 revenue funding was secured and £46,850 capital investment was applied for to improve club facilities in this area. l The Durham and Chester le Street area has secured 108 sport and health related grants from the County Durham Community Foundation, totalling £276,858 - 25% of the county-wide total.

l Significant improvements to

l £100k skate park investment

comprehensive/academy schools with a 3G pitch at the Hermitage school and improved playing pitches in leisure facilities, including two 3G pitches. The area has also secured five succesful ‘Inspired Facility’ bids improving club facilities in the sports of bowling, rowing, cricket and multi sports. l Six organisations have engaged in ‘Sportivate’ to provide opportunities for 190 young people aged 14-25 that are new to sport, receiving a total of £13,472. l Cestria Community Housing has invested £600k into the Sunderland AFC charity the Foundation of Light. The partnership has delivered a range of intiaitves through its Kickz and Family Learning Programmes. A recent study has shown the Social Return On Investment for the community is estimated in the region of £28million. l Cestria Community Housing has invested a further £20k in Durham County Cricket Club’s Foundation providing free sportability sessions to disabled children and adults.

in the Riverside Park, Chesterle-Street. Funding primarily made up of County Council’s Neighbourhood Budget funding (via the AAP) and Children’s Services. l £11k in a Change4Life school sports project, targeting young people at risk of obesity working within 22 primary schools in Chester-leStreet aiming to work with 2700 children and 400 parents.

High quality recognition l The area currently supports high profile sporting events including the Durham Big Ride cycling event, the televised Pearl Izumi Cycle Tour Series, County and International cricket games including the Ashes in August 2013. l Three nominees from the Durham and Chester Le Street Sports Awards went on to be County Sport and Physical Activity Awards winners. l For the second year running Cestria Community Housing has sponsored the Lambton 10k and 3k run, which attracts over 1000 runners.

Gaps and Areas for Concern l Programmes based around family participation are lacking in the Durham area and could help address some of barriers to engagement?

This is not the case for Chester le Street with the work Cestria Community Housing and the Foundation of Light have done through their Family Learning Programme. 870 parents and children have taken part in frequent and moderate exercise sessions held in conjuction with local schools.

6

l Sport and physical activity

programmes that target young people aged 11+ has been highlighted as a gap across the patch l Pathways and exit routes from short term programmes need to be better established to support continued long term engagement. l More volunteer support and training is needed for local physical activity programmes.

A lack of high quality coaches and volunteers to support delivery is also barrier to developing and maintaining strong player pathways and securing continued participation.

It is clear that Durham and Chesterle-Street benefits from significant investment, and has access to a wide range of excellent facilities, some of international standard. However, this has not translated into greater participation in sport and physical activity, which is disparate across different communities. In fact, in many cases, those communities in receipt of some of the highest levels of investment are those with the lowest levels of participation. Moving forward, the need to focus more effectively on understanding and working with specific local barriers and motivators to participation in the future is evident. In particular, consultation with partners demonstrates that there is a perceived lack of awareness of opportunities within the localities, which could be addressed through joint programming and sharing resources, particularly around marketing and awareness raising activity.

Local Demand for Sport and Physical Activity Current participation in sport and physical activity is not consistent across the patch (see Table 1), nor are the area’s demographics. Sport England’s market segmentation helps us understand the life stages and attitudes of different population groups and the sporting interventions most likely to engage them. The distribution of these segments in Durham and Chesterle-Street is not even, with pockets of the more affluent segments, Roger and Joy, and Tim centred to the north east of the Durham area. Durham City is dominated by Jamie’s, due to the high student population. Kev’s, Terry’s and Brenda’s are dominant in the less affluent areas around Bowburn and north and west of Chester-le-Street. Table 1 highlights the sports most likely to engage the various groups.
