Social Impact

Our Community

To best understand who we engage through our free and low-cost community provision, we have focussed on analysing regular participants, defined here as those who have attended 3 or more sessions. This helps us to consider how engagement reflects the local community and to identify any groups who we are not engaging well, providing insights to improve and diversify our reach as we aim to provide enjoyable and accessible opportunities for everyone in our community to take part in sport and physical activity.

Breaking down barriers

At BPT we aim to deliver accessible, inclusive and impactful programmes, using sport and physical activity to deliver positive social outcomes. Sport England Active Lives data shows that 36% of adults and 52% of children and young people do not meet recommended activity levels. The data shows that:

  • Black and Asian people are less likely to be active than others
  • people living in the most deprived places (IMD 1-3) are less likely to be active

Our programmes are designed to engage specific groups who typically experience barriers that make it harder to participate in sport and physical activity. The below graphs demonstrate that we are bringing opportunity to those who need it most.
