Lincolnshire Sports Partnership 
Sporting Equals exists to promote ethnic diversity across sport and physical activity, and is the only organisation in the UK to do so. Set up in 1998 by Sport England, in partnership with the Commission for Racial Equality, but now an independent body, we inform, influence and inspire in order to create an environment in which:
- BME communities can influence and participate in all aspects of sport and physical activity.
- The governors and providers of sport and physical activity recognise and value a fully integrated and inclusive society.
- Ethnic diversity is recognised and celebrated.
In short, we want to see an active world that is free from racial discrimination and health inequalities.
Because it is fair, because it is right, and because the whole of society will benefit. Sporting Equals has three objectives:
- To raise awareness and understanding of the needs of BME communities within the sports and health sector in order to change attitudes and increase participation in sport and physical activity.
- To empower individuals and communities to play a part in this change, and achieve their full potential through playing sport and being active.
- To advise and support policy-makers and delivery bodies to be inclusive.
Currently Lincolnshire Sports Partnership are supporting the supplementary games which takes place on the 24th April 2010 in Lincoln. The event will bring together around 300 people from across Lincolnshire. Download the poster for the event here.
