Introduction
Background Tactics Purpose Our approach to youth at risk? Youth Sport vs Youth Crime? Delivery mechanism Whos Keeping Score? Extra Time? Some of the questions STRIVE NI CIC is researching at present
Develop a single, sustainable, local sport for development infrastructure that tackles a range of social issues mapped to local need and priorities.
Mission To change, develop and build on the culture of sport and adventure learning in Northern Ireland, In order to develop targeted interventions within youth at risk settings, leading to improvements in health, cohesion, education and other social and economic benefits. Priorities
High quality inclusive sport provision linked inextricably with strong, well developed and sustainable outcomes and partners.
Sport, and adventure learning as a tool to promote education and skills: via volunteering, coaching, leadership, sport as a career option, sporting events, social enterprise development, links to employers. Developing models of best practice and shared learning that gives N.I. a greater influence in the International Sports for development sector.
Tactics
STRIVE NI CIC having worked in this field for nearly 15 years across numerous partners and funders both locally/Internationally, has determined that avenues exist in N.I. to look at the development of a sports consortia encompassing organisations that offer a unique selling service. The rationale of this consortia is to offer a bespoke service that can target the following areas: 1. 2. 3. 4. Educational under-achievement Mental health concerns/drugs/alcohol Crime and anti-social behaviour Community conflict
All areas identified above can be traced to issues of youth at risk, social exclusion, no sense of belonging or family/school conditions. Determining the values/objectives of such a consortia with its partners including Seaview Enterprises, Colin Glen Trust, T13 Urban Sport Park, 180 Degrees Training CIC, Newry Sports Partnership CIC and Monkstown ABC was crucial to meet the needs of the young person we want to engage. The consortia brings a range of skill sets, competencies and like minded people together focussed on delivering impacts for our most at risk youth

Extra-Time?
In order for sport to define itself moving forward, its role in tackling social issues must be more fully understood. The terminology is ever changing; sport plus, sport for change, plus sport, sport for peace and development, sport for social change, sport for development? The issues are always prevalent around social deprivation, its the value of such given to sport from Government that directs how we as practioners develop our services. Is this how we develop our case? Is it youth at risk, or risky youth? How will sport benefit from RPA? What role will sport play in community planning? The use of sport in community relations work? Is it developing resilient communities, or is this Mental Toughness? Will social return measurements be accepted via Government Departments, and assist front line organisations that deliver real change, opportunities to impact lives?
