Sports Club Access Scheme

We are really excited to launch a new scheme which has recently opened called the Sports Club Access Scheme. This initiative is designed to support young people (up to the age of 17) living in Mole Valley from lower-income households by improving their access to sport and physical activity.

We are offering up to £250 per individual to help cover sports club membership fees (depending on the cost of the chosen club), with the aim of reducing financial barriers to participation.

Eligibility criteria include:

• Receiving free school meals

• Having parents/carers on regular Universal Credit payments

• Being in or having been in care

How the scheme works:

1. Interested individuals should contact a club listed on our website to arrange a free taster session.

2. If a club of interest is not listed, please contact Oli Winter, Sports and Communities Officer at Mole Valley District Council - telephone 01306 879193

3. Following the taster session, the parent or guardian should complete the application form available on our website.

4. We will then assess their eligibility and process the application accordingly.

Please note: Mole Valley Girls FC and Dorking Cricket Club will also be part of the scheme, though they are not yet listed on the website.

You can find more information and access the application form on our website: Sports Club Access Scheme |

Surrey Domestic Abuse and Violence Against Women and Girls Bulletin

Show Domestic Abuse the Red Card. 

The UEFA European Football Championship 2024 in Germany begins from Friday 14 June, and many of us will be excited to follow the highs and lows of our team’s journey over the next few weeks.

 

Football doesn't cause domestic abuse, but incidents can increase or become more severe around key matches. Research from Warwick Business School published in 2022 found that reported cases of alcohol-related domestic abuse rose by 47 per cent on the day of an England victory at the World Cup or European Championships. The reported number of alcohol-related cases was also 18 per cent higher than average on the day after an England match. Find out more here: Show Domestic Abuse The Red Card | Healthy Surrey 

 

The findings are a reminder that while most fans will be celebrating England victories at Euro 2024, these victories also create an atmosphere where perpetrators are more likely to commit domestic abuse. We will be sharing information on our social media channels during the Euros tournament, highlight support services available for victims/survivors of DA and signposting perpetrators to behaviour change programmes available via the Surrey Steps to Change Hub.

The Surrey Steps to Change Hub is a safe space where individuals can benefit from localised, specialist support to increase survivor safety and reduce harm from perpetrators of domestic abuse and stalking. Specialist programmes available at the hub include:

 

  • Healthy Relationships
  • Compulsive, Obsessive Behaviour Intervention (COBI) - Stalking and Harassment
  • Challenging Unhealthy Relationship Beliefs and Behaviours (CURBB)
  • Youth Using Violence and Abuse (YUVA)

 

For advice and support please contact the hub via email: Enquiries@surreystepstochange.com or telephone: 01483 900 905.

 

 

In Surrey our vision is for every adult and child experiencing domestic abuse to be seen, safe and heard, and free from the harm caused by perpetrator behaviour.  We are pleased to share with you our Surrey Against Domestic Abuse Strategy for 2024 to 2029. At its core, the strategy recognises that no single organisation can deal with the impact of domestic abuse alone. As a partnership, we will focus on preventing domestic abuse for all children, young people and adults affected across their lifespan. Delivery of the strategy will be supported by the Domestic Abuse Management Board with oversight by the Surrey Domestic Abuse Executive.
