County Sports Partnership Update |
SASSOT Sports Club Accreditation Funding - 5th Round Open
The SASSOT Sports Club Accreditation funding scheme was launched in September 2009 with the aim to increase the number of sports clubs being accredited or re-accredited with Clubmark, NGB Accreditation or the SASSOT QualityMark.
Evidence collected suggests that accredited clubs have, over the past two years, increased junior participation, raised the number of active, qualified coaches and improved levels of coach qualification, thus making them more effective and sustainable community sports clubs.
So far £13,805 has been distributed to help over 37 sports clubs achieve club accreditation/re-accreditation. (Please click on the ‘how to apply’ web-link below to see which clubs have been awarded funding).
The 5th round is now open and funding is available to sports clubs who require financial assistance to achieve and pass their accreditation criteria although it cannot be used for NGB coaching qualifications. Sports clubs requiring funding for coaching qualifications can apply to the SASSOT Coach Scholarship funding scheme.
All sports clubs benefiting from this funding must be based within Staffordshire and Stoke on Trent to qualify and commit to achieving accreditation within 6 months.
Applications can only be received from sports clubs, NGBs, Local Authority or SSP partners. NGB, LA and SSP partners can submit applications for more than one sports club. All applications will be assessed by the SASSOT Workforce Steering Group.
Cannock Rugby Club, Eccleshall RUFC, Fenton Manor Netball Club, Harriers Netball Club, Leek Amateur Swimming Club and Tean Valley Netball Club were all successful in securing funding in Round 4 for club accreditation or re-accreditation.

SASSOT Coach Scholarship Scheme
Since its introduction in 2008 the SASSOT Coach Scholarship Scheme has provided £33,000 to support over 400 coaches and officials gain new qualifications. SASSOT is delighted to announce that an additional £20,000 has been secured to support this scheme over the next financial year.
The maximum grant that can be applied for per organisation is £2,000 based on SASSOT funding up to 50% or £300 per qualification whichever comes first. All applications need to come via either a National Governing Body, local authority or the School Sport Partnership. The closing date for the next round of applications is Wednesday 29th September 2010.
Funding is only available for coaching and officiating qualifications with the priority this year being supporting coaches achieving Level 2 and Level 3 UKCC qualifications.
Further information and an application form can be found on our website.
