Our decision to partner with Sported back in the early days of the consultancy stemmed from a shared belief in the #powerofsport and #physicalactivity to really bring about positive change in young people’s lives and strengthen communities across the UK.
Why Sported?
We chose to work with Sported because of their commitment to supporting community groups and creating inclusive opportunities for participation. Their vision aligns perfectly with our consultancy’s mission to drive meaningful, purpose-driven solutions.
Our Work
Our team at Nicky Affleck Consultancy Ltd engaged in a comprehensive evaluation of Sported’s Connected Communities model. This involved facilitating workshops and community groups across London to understand the programme's benefits and engagement levels. Through detailed research and development, we provided a full report with actionable recommendations for future initiatives.
The Connected Communities model is vital in creating resilient, inclusive communities. It highlights the importance of local partnerships and stakeholder engagement, demonstrating that collaboration at the grassroots level can lead to substantial, positive changes. Our expertise in stakeholder engagement and workshop facilitation was crucial in uncovering these insights and providing strategic direction.
Key Learnings
One of the most significant learnings was the underestimated value of peer learning within community groups. This insight has prompted Sported to revamp their member engagement strategy, emphasizing peer learning and networking to maximize impact. Our regular, open, and honest communication with Sported ensured a shared understanding of needs and outcomes, leading to effective decision-making.
Our Expertise
This project showcased our consultancy's strength in research and development, stakeholder engagement, and workshop facilitation. We are proud of the thorough evaluations and clear, strategic insights we provided, which have already led to tangible results for Sported.
We are grateful for the opportunity to support Sported and are really pleased about the change our collaboration has initiated. A special thank you to Onyinye N., London Regional Manager at Sported, for her time and teaming up with us.

We're excited to share a brand-new case study with you! This addition to our ongoing series aims to highlight the key services we provide to our clients and the collaborative impact we've made!
This case study features Sported!
Here is a quick snapshot of the case study:
🎯 Their Mission: Sported is a charity which delivers expertise, resources and vital support to clubs and groups that use sport and physical activity to make a positive impact on young people – and on our communities – throughout the UK.
💼 Our Contribution: Nicky Affleck Consultancy supported on the evaluation of Sported’s Connected Communities model. The evaluation included the facilitation of workshops and community groups across London.
🌟 Our Impact: “Since the completion of our support, we have been able to grow our membership in areas which we had considerably less presence historically. This is due to the work we have been doing to build relationships with those local authorities, which we would not have done if not for the insight provided to us by the consultancy on the positive impact of local partners in our connected communities project.”
