Developing a Sports Strategy for Anglia Ruskin University

Prospects4Sport has recently been appointed by Anglia Ruskin University to assist in the development of its first Sports Strategy.

The Strategy will provide a Vision & framework to inform the future direction of the University's sports programmes, facilities and opportunities, bringing together the needs and aspirations of the University, its staff, students and the local community.

Anglia Ruskin University is primarily split across two main campuses in Chelmsford and Cambridge, both offering a wide ranging and diverse undergraduate and post-graduate programme. There is a need, however, to bring together facility management, participation initiatives, activity by clubs, competition (fun recreational, inter-mural and inter-University), plus academic and elite sport.This Strategy will build upon the current sporting and lifestyle provision providing a clear future direction and framework for all facets of the University's sporting aspirations.

This project builds on our extensive experience of working with the higher and further education sectors. It builds upon our work with Universities throughout the East Midlands, in Bath, Southampton and Reading. Our national review of sport and sports provision in all Further Education colleges in England, and our current work with the Association of Colleges will also help to set the context in developing a forward thinking, pioneering Sports Strategy for Anglia Ruskin University.
