Diversifying Sport

During 2022 we introduced our Diversifying Sport campaign. As our yearly demographic reports on participation within our sports teams showed that participation of all demographics were not where we would like them to be – this campaign aimed to break down barriers, stereotypes, and limits that may prevent people from getting involved in sports. We are running this campaign to ensure that everyone feels included and represented when participating in sport - as they should do.

 

We focused particularly on Gender Identity, Gender Stereotypes, Sexuality and Identity, Disability, Mental Health, and Race in sports –to break down barriers, stereotypes, and limits that may prevent people from getting involved in sports.

 

Throughout March, the campaign saw the distribution of pronoun badges to all sports teams, to normalise the non-assumption of pronouns, provided Rainbow Laces so our teams can Lace up and Speak Up, distributed ‘Show Racism the Red Card’ wristbands and encouraged our sports teams to wear red – and most importantly, went out and spoke to our students about these topics.
