Integrating nature with sport and physical activity
How you can form partnerships, improve wellbeing and engage with your community using nature as the conduit.
Presenters from Sport for Nature and Hubbub joined Jo Deagle from Sported for this session, looking at real examples that help your work.
About the Session
This one-hour session looked at how to reap the benefits of integrating nature with sport, including:
- Using it as a tool to boost mental wellbeing and physical health.
- Building new partnerships that widen your reach.
- Strengthening ties with your wider community that break down barriers and grow inclusion.
- Unlocking new activities and opportunities in areas such as education and employment.
Nature is all round us in our biodiversity such as trees, ponds, native plants, local wildlife and community gardens. So how do you use it as an asset for your organisation, even if your activities are indoors?
Working with the experts at Sport for Nature and Hubbub, this webinar showed you how to overcome some of the challenges in accessing nature – with real-world examples like Newcastle Dynamo FC.
With input from groups like yours on how to bring nature into different sports settings—whether rural or urban, with or without your own facilities—and information about funding opportunities to support this work.
Who is this for?
- Groups looking to get started and learn more
- Community groups already incorporating nature who want to connect and grow
