#OpenGoal drop-in session

Sport for Development Coalition

Let’s work together to raise awareness of the UK’s sport for development sector on April 6th, the International Day of Sport for Development

•	Throughout March 2023, the UK-based Sport for Development Coalition is running a weekly series of online drop-in sessions for its members and supporters.•	The purpose of the sessions is to discuss how sport for development organisations across the UK can mark the International Day of Sport for Development and Peace on April 6th by speaking with one voice about the Coalition&#x27;s collective impact through #OpenGoal.•	We will also discuss how the Coalition is marking the first anniversary of its #OpenGoal Shared Advocacy Framework.#OpenGoal was launched on 6th April 2022. It was co-designed by Coalition members as a way of highlighting to UK-based policy-makers the contribution of targeted sport and physical activity-based interventions to generating a series of positive health, economic and environmental benefits to society, ranging from improved health and wellbeing to reduced crime and increased social cohesion.Sport for development interventions can deliver multiple returns on investment across national policy priorities, and therefore help to create significant public cost savings in communities facing the greatest disadvantage and deprivation. Collectively we believe this presents an ‘open goal’ for policy-makers, which anyone working in sport and development can contribute to.Our aim is to work together to show policy-makers the value of ring-fencing investment for sport for development programmes across Government departments, such as the recent £5million Youth Justice Sport Fund from the Ministry of Justice being delivered by Coalition partners.On April 6th we are calling on your organisation to showcase and share evidence of how your projects and programmes are supporting the #OpenGoal framework, so we can shine a national spotlight on the amazing work being carried out every day by the UK’s sport for development sector.
