Reigate and Banstead Sports Council

Home Page

The Reigate and Banstead District Sports Council (rb sport)is a wholly voluntary body comprising many of the sports clubs in the Borough which aims to encourage participation in sport by local residents and to assist clubs in expanding and improving facilities. The Sports Council is run by a Management Committee which reports to a quarterly meeting of the full Council to whose meetings all affiliated organisations are entitled to send a representative.

Starting in 2008, rb sport is organising a Sports awards scheme for the Borough, culminating in an awards evening at the Harlequin theatre in September. It is also organising a Bowls competition to be played in the summer and hopes to organise Borough competitions for other sports in the future.

It also sets out to give assistance to affiliated organisations by:

Making grants to promising individuals to help to achieve a higher standard

Making grants to clubs for improvements to facilities and equipment

Arranging and subsidising courses not specific to a particular sport (e.g. first aid)

Assisting with funding for initiatives encouraging youth participation in sport and for organising local competitions

Advising individuals and clubs on other possible sources of funds

Acting as a channel of communication between clubs and the Borough Council

The Borough includes Banstead, Burgh Heath, Horley, Kingswood, Nork, Redhill, Reigate, Tadworth, Salfords and Walton-on-the-Hill
