The Devon Way Sports Park – No. 1 Impact Project
In late Autumn 2022 we established that the community’s ideas and desire for sports and activity for all ages and abilities is compatible with the delivery model of the sportscotland Community Sports Hub, a policy that is now open to support for small settlements. If we fully implement this concept we will be building a new vision for sport and activity in our community
What is the ACTIVE Dollar Vision and Mission?
VISION: With COLLABORATION between existing and new PROVIDERS, the community will have access to a Coordinated Sport and Activity Programme for PARTICIPANTS of ALL AGES and ABILITIES
MISSION: At any stage of their life, everyone living in Dollar can participate in at least three sports or activity
Implementation will need the involvement of the existing clubs and enablers of sport and activity. We will also plan:
· to maintain collaboration with existing and new Stakeholders like Dollar Academy
· acquire and maintain new facilities like the Devon Way Sports Park
· foster sufficient sports leadership capacity to meet new demand
Proposed Structure
This is the typical Community Sports Hub structure which we have adapted to the needs of the people of Dollar
What can you do?
1. Help us form a dynamic communications team interested in promoting sport and activity through a website and via social media. We have stories to broadcast in Dollar, let’s do it
2. Help us plot what is needed to boost the availability of sport and activity by joining the age and ability group that suits you during group workshops
3. Join the launch programme as a workshop group organiser, a workshop facilitator, workshop report analyst, a participant forum representative, a provider panel member
