SPORT & RECREATION PILOT SUCCESS
by RSL NSW
The highly successful RSL NSW Sport and Recreation Pilot, launched in March 2022, has now ended. This program is a key component of the Strategic Plan 2021-26 and supports the League’s goal to grow membership and help other veterans and their families.
A post-pilot survey of RSL NSW members found a 41% increase in sport and recreation activities being organised by sub-Branches at least quarterly – showing a direct and positive impact on the lives of participants as a result of the pilot.
The survey also gauged respondents’ perception of connection with other veterans and their sub-Branches, with 73% of members feeling connected to their subBranches, compared to 50% prior to the program. More than half feel connected to their local community of veterans and their families, and almost four in 10 feel connected to other sub-Branches.
