Durham Dales - Our Area in Summary Bordered by Bishop Auckland in the east, Edmundbyers in the north, Bowes in the south and Middleton in Teesdale in the west, Durham Dales has a population of around 98,000. It is a rural area, benefiting from significant areas of public green space, public rights of way, active sports clubs and leisure facilities:
l 2 dry-side public sport and leisure facilities l 8 swimming pools ( 2 Local Authority, 1 open l l l l l l l l l l l l

Durham Dales Programmes - A ‘Snapshot’ of Current Provision and Investment in 2013/14 The area benefits from a range of initiatives and programmes supported with investment into sport and physical activity. Active Lifestyles l Check4Life teams have delivered 650 community health checks and 350 adults with a health issue/risk factor have accessed the Exercise Referral Scheme to support them back into a regular activity programme. l 8 sports clubs commissioned through ‘Move into Sport’ to engage inactive adults are within Durham Dales. l 15 primary schools are engaged with FISCH, which targets childhood obesity - 707 young people benefited. l 1,185 5-18 year olds, predominantly from the 3 Towns and BASH AAP areas, accessed a weekly high quality sport/physical activity through ‘Join in’, Durham County Council’s Olympic legacy programme. l 3 weekly organised short walks and 2 recreational bike rides are available. Recreational running groups are established in Stanhope, Hunwick, Barnard Castle and Bishop Auckland. l 5 volunteer managed Wellness on Wheels legacy gyms are established, based in rural settings.
Player pathways/sporting potential l 13 new clubs/club sections have been established to meet growing demand in Football, Netball, Athletics, Cricket and Boxing. l 1 Satellite Club (Kayak) is established with 2 planned (Pentathlon and Rugby) in local school settings. l 25% of 385 sports clubs in County Durham engaged in the Club Durham scheme are from this area. l 350 sports volunteers registered with Volunteer Durham, accessing £7,934 to support quality coaching. 49 completed NGB Level 1 qualifications and 15 level 2. 59 coaches registered with County Durham Sport Coaching Network who all accessed training opportunities. l 37 Young Volunteers supported the Level 3 School Games. 6 school clusters are engaged in a school sport programme. l 3 local athletes have benefitted from the Durham Institute of Sport pilot supporting local talent.

Funding investment l Sport England’s Activation Fund has secured £233,849 total investment into activities based in and around parks in Bishop Auckland, Shildon and Crook over 3 years, from summer 2014. l Durham Dales Area Action Partnerships have supported 40 sport/physical activity programmes with £135,399 in grants. l Club Durham support has helped to lever £75,927 revenue funding and £399,750 capital to improve club facilities in the area. l Durham Dales secured 51 sport/health related grants from County Durham Community Foundation £166,037.
4
l Improvements to local schools
include 2 new sports halls, improved playing pitches (including 4G/3G pitches), and changing facilities. ‘Inspired Facility’ funds will improve club facilities in Football, Rugby, Cricket and Multisport. l 9 organisations accessed £22,382 from ‘Sportivate’ to provide opportunities for 371 14-25 year olds, new to sport. High quality recognition l The area currently supports high profile sporting events including the Etape and Velo 29 cycle race. l 5 Durham Dales Sports Awards nominees went on to win County Sport and Physical Activity Awards.
Gaps and Areas for Concern l Limited provision across the area for children aged 0-5, especially the Three Towns Partnership area l The area struggles to fit with National School Games structures as some schools have under 100 pupils. A Small School Games and inter school festival structure is being piloted to help address this. l Few opportunities for disabled people to access communitysport club structures; clubs need support to be more inclusive. l Of the county’s 10 priority sports, a grassroots to county performance club player pathway is in place for Swimming, Gymnastics, Cricket, Football and Running. Support is needed from NGB’s to offer the same opportunities in the other sports. l Sport England market segmentation and local consultation shows running/athletics as a priority but there is a need for investment in outdoor athletics facilites both current tracks at Barnard Castle and Crook need significant investment.
It is clear that Durham Dales benefits from significant investment, in some cases proportionately greater than for other CSPAN areas in the county. However, this has not translated into greater participation in sport and physical activity, which is disparate across different communities. Of particular note is that, in many cases, those communities in receipt of some of the highest levels of investment are those with the lowest levels of participation. In contrast,
Teesdale, which has a more limited range of opportunities, has the highest level of participation, in all of County Durham. This suggests strongly that investment in provision alone is not the solution to engaging more people in sport and physical activity. Moving forward, the need to focus more effectively on understanding and working with specific local barriers and motivators to participation in the future is evident.
Local Demand for Sport and Physical Activity Current participation in sport and physical activity is not consistent across the patch (see Table 1), nor are the area’s demographics. Sport England’s market segmentation helps us understand the life stages and attitudes of different population groups and the sporting interventions most likely to engage them. The most dominant market segments within Durham Dales are Elsie & Arnold and Brenda (who tend to be least active) and Philip and Tim (who tend to be most active). There is a direct correlation between the distribution of these segments, deprivation and activity levels, which fluctuate considerably from area to area. Table 1 highlights the sports most likely to engage the various groups. Additional insight work with the least active populations in Bishop Auckland, Shildon and Crook demonstrated that the biggest perceived barrier to participation is lack of activities close to home, and that all prefer evening/weekend activity, although those with pre-school children also want daytime activity. Preferred activities are Exercise Classes/Boot Camp, Dance, Running, Cycling, Bowls, Archery, Cycling and Cricket. 5
