Our Vision is to become the community club of choice in London, where everyone gets active via the Sport of Handball.

We want to carry on activities which benefit the community and encourage, foster and develop Handball in all its forms amongst all ages and sections of our community.

For many of the people we serve, one of the primary blockers in entering team sports are the associated costs. This blocker was further exacerbated due to the impact of the pandemic and the recent cost-of-living crisis towards the financially-disadvantaged social groups. Many surveys of sport authorities have documented this.

So, to sustain our participation and further expand it in the future, we need to ensure that we are able to offer more with asking our most vulnerable members to pay less or, ideally, participate for free.

You will be contributing to bringing more people in physical movement via handball (a recognised and inclusive sport teams sport) - particularly physically inactive social groups, such as children and young people, women and girls, and financially-disadvantaged socio-economic groups, in accordance with Sport England's strategy, by:

• Reducing and ideally removing participation barriers, like fees to cover costs for venue lettings, equipment, competition kit, travel expenses, qualifications and credentials for our officials (management, coaches, table officials and referees);
• Incentivising more volunteers to contribute to our club's operations, as well as promoting handball in secondary schools through after-school / satellite clubs, via covering their expenses for their activities and development.

Please confirm your:

• Availability to start.
• Any special requirements / constraints.
• Any resources required to support an effective delivery.

Please contact us via Reach with any questions.

Interviews will be an informal video call with our Secretary.

Please provide a cover letter detailing why you are interested in this role and your relevant experience.
