Why Sport for Confidence?
We work locally and national in spaces and places making use of the expertise that comes from Occupational Therapy, the physical activity sector and those with lived experience. This combined skill set is ideally suited to address barriers to accessing physical activity and sport, tackling inequalities and providing the best possible experiences for people and communities to take part in a way that is relevant and meaningful to people’s lives.
We recognise and value the unique contributions of people, their environments, occupation and participation when using physical activity to promote good health and prevent ill health. We work in partnership to play our part in ensuring systems and services can meet the needs of everyone in our community.
This is our Blueprint.
It outlines the foundation of our work – a plan that reimagines physical activity as a vehicle for empowerment, equity, and belonging. This is more than a document; it’s a guide to what is important to us – a person first, occupation-focused, and systems-driven approach, showing how sport and physical activity can transform lives and communities.
At Sport for Confidence, we believe that physical activity is far more than movement or sport, it’s a therapeutic tool that, when used to its full potential, can transform lives.
But like most tools, its true strength emerges when it’s used in the right way and as part of a bigger picture.
