Sport Reading

The Sport Reading mission is to promote and deliver sport and physical activity for all sectors of the Reading community, from encouraging participation for health benefits through to developing our future elite athletes and world champions.

Clubs and organisations that sign up to the Sport Reading charter and display the Sport Reading Flag are committed to achieving the following aims and aspirations:

1. To ensure access to the broadest possible range of sport and physical activity opportunities in Reading
2. To promote the wider benefits of sport and physical activity including the social benefits for older people, discipline and self-esteem for younger people and health benefits for all sectors of the Reading community
3. To encourage people already involved in sport and physical activity to try new opportunities in order to sustain participation
4. To work towards the early identification of sporting talent through links between sports clubs, voluntary organisations, schools and youth organisations
5. To promote access to appropriate sport and physical activity opportunities for the rich diversity of people within the Reading community
6. To promote and celebrate sporting achievement and excellence in Reading
