At Community Action Dacorum, we believe that sport is more than just physical activity; it is a vital engine for community connection and wellbeing.

As we continue our growth as a leading regional provider of “real-world solutions,” we are proud to support our partners at The Herts Sport & Physical Activity Partnership in launching the national “Sport Welfare in Action campaign”. 

Supporting the “Unsung Heroes” of Sport 

Every thriving sports club relies on the dedication of a Club Welfare Officer. These volunteers are the professional backbone of local sport, ensuring that environments are safe, inclusive, and welcoming for everyone.  

 This new campaign celebrates their vital work and provides them with the tools they need to stay “Fit for Purpose.” 

Our Growing Sports Community 

In the last year alone, Community Action Dacorum has significantly expanded its support for local athletics. In partnership with the Herts Sports Partnership (HSP), we have: 

Welcomed 53 new sports clubs into our membership. 

Distributed nearly £90,000 in funding to 19 local clubs, enabling inclusive programmes and vital facility upgrades. 

Provided essential services including DBS checks for coaches and affordable minibus hire for team travel. 

Get Involved: The Sport Welfare Toolkit 

We encourage all our member Sports Clubs to engage with this campaign to strengthen their safeguarding and welfare cultures. The Sport Welfare in Action toolkit offers practical guidance on proactive intervention and creating resilient environments where every player feels supported.
