Policy documents
Sport is the biggest civil society movement in Europe – and voluntary-based grassroots sports clubs are its backbone. Grassroots sport carries with it enormous potential in terms of health and disease prevention, but also social inclusion and cohesion, civic engagement and democracy, skills and employment, regional and local development, and the economy at large.
In this document, ENGSO advocates for a sufficient level of funding for grassroots sports organisations in the EU's funding schemes.

ASPIRE Training Module

The ASPIRE Training Module has been written for people who wish to make their sport or their sports setting more inclusive to people from other backgrounds. Although primarily aimed at making sports clubs and programmes more welcoming to refugees, many of the lessons and tips in the manual are equally applicable to improving access to people from other under-represented groups.
