Cricketqube community impact
Sport is widely recognised as an effective tool for generating a wide variety of positive social impacts within a population [3]. There has been significant research conducted to explore social impacts that Community Sport Organisations generate within their local communities, which has yielded extensive evidence for positive impacts in areas of physical and mental health improvement, educational capability development, social capital improvement, and crime and anti-social behaviour reduction. [4].
Studies also suggest that sport achieves multiple of impacts simultaneously, making it a highly cost-effective tool for the development of individuals and communities. Many of the links between sport and different social impacts are common, including greater physical competencies, better cognitive skills, better social skills, trust and reciprocity, and identification with social values. However, The highest quality of evidence have been found within the physical health improvement, social capital development and educational capability development domains. These impacts help to counteract risk factors and stimulate favourable reaction to protective factors.
Cricketqube impact by region
Multiple studies found a positive link between subjective wellbeing of a population and participation in sport activities, and that access to of sport facilities and activities is a mediating factor for higher participation rates, and consequently, higher levels of life satisfaction and subjective wellbeing. [1][2]. Therefore, availability of sport facilities and activities in communities, particularly in locations of deprivation, can help promote higher levels of wellbeing and life statisfaction among it's population.
The below map higlights Cricketqube's region of influence (locations where impact outcomes were found to be correlated to indivduals), providing a 'bird's eye' view of the impact Cricketqube has helped generate for its community.
HEALTH-RELATED IMPACTS
Physical health-related impacts through sports and physical activities have been found in primary and secondary prevention of many chronic diseases such as cardiovascular diseases, diabetes, cancer and osteoporosis by various studies, and there is a growing body of evidence that highlights the positive impacts of organised sport, and its associated social interactions, on the mental health of participants by reducing stress and increasing positive affect and general wellness[5].
Cricketqube delivered 917 activities, helping generate positive physical health impacts for 171 people and positive mental health impacts for 319 people. Health impacts generated through participation in sport activities develop over time with regular participation, and the current impact levels will sustain only if regular participation of the participants sustain. You can track the changes in the impact levels through the graph below, where the impact levels will vary with changes in new and continued participation and volunteering. You can view the full breakdown of the impacts Cricketqube has helped generate by clicking the breakdown tab below.

Regular moderate-intensity sport participation in adults (above the age of 18) has been empirically proven to reduce all-cause premature mortality risk by 20% [6], with active females experiencing a 31% reduction in all-cause premature mortality[7]. In children (under the age of 18), regular moderate-intensity sports and physical activity have been observed to be an effective tool for prevention of multiple chronic diseases and for the effective development of the immune system.
Additionally, regular moderate-intensity sports and physical activity in children reduces stress and depression, and increases perceptions related to self-satisfaction, self-esteem and body image[8]. Further, the risk-reduction effect in all participants was seen to be graded, with small improvements in fitness directly correlating with significantly increased risk reduction[8].
EDUCATIONAL IMPACTS
A majority of the educational impacts generated through participation in sport are derived from the mental health and psychological benefits that individuals gain from participating in sport, such as positive affect, optimism, self-esteem and self-efficacy. These impacts tend to have a more pronounced effect on children and young people, however, these impacts gained at a young age are an important factor for effective human development, and have implications for adult life[9].
Participating and volunteering in sport activities helps people improve their learning capabilities and helps them develop crucial vocational and life skills. Cricketqube delivered 917 activities, helping generate educational development impacts for 319 people. Educational development impacts generated through participation and volunteering in sport activities develop over time and the current impact levels will sustain only if the participation and volunteering levels sustain. You can track the changes in the impact levels through the graph below, where the impact levels will vary with changes in new and continued participation and volunteering.

Cricketqube Participants by Age
There is a significant body of evidence that shows improvement in cognitive ability, psychosocial development, educational attainment, and school engagement through regular participation in sport and physical activity [10]. School-age engagement in sport and physical activity has shown to improve cognitive performance in terms of information processing, relational memory, attention and executive function [11].
SOCIETAL IMPACTS
In terms of development of social capital, studies have found a correlation between participation in sport and development of social relationships, collective community action and reduction in social tensions, however, the correlation is dependent on how the sport programmes are structured and the wider social issues that exist [12].
Social capital impacts generated by sport can be majorly classified into three groups: bonding capital (networking and social connectedness), bridging capital (collective identities, social integration, understanding of others and attitudes towards others) and linking capital (Institutional networks, social support structures and heterogenous social links)
Cricketqube delivered 917 activities, helping generate positive social capital development impacts for 171 people and crime reduction impacts for 133 people. Societal impacts generated through participation and volunteering in sport activities develop over time with regular participation and volunteering, and the current impact levels will sustain only if participation and volunteering levels sustain. You can track the changes in the impact levels through the graph below, where the impact levels will vary with changes in new and continued participation and volunteering.

Volunteering in Cricketqube
Studies have also found a relationship between sport and reduction of crime, as sporting activities have been found to foster prosocial behaviour, reduce delinquency and criminal behaviour and reduce the risk of recidivism [13]. This link between sport and crime is generally found from a deterrence perspective and seems to be more relevant for youth crime and youth at-risk, as they are generally more exposed to crime and delinquency. Some studies found that although there are links between sport participation and reduced deviant behaviours, higher sport participation, particularly team sports participation, is also correlated to higher aggression, violence and rule-breaking [14].

| Outcome | # people impacted |
|---|---|
| Aggressive Behaviour and violent crimes increase | 6 |
| Alcohol Use Probability Increase | 3 |
| Anti-social behaviour reduction | 3 |
| Civic crimes | 3 |

Cricketqube participants and volunteers by ethnicity
Although sport participation has an effect on crime rate, other socio-economic indicators such as per capita income and unemployment are much more significant predictors of crime. Various studies highlight that there are multiple other factors that affect delinquency and criminal behaviour in youth, and that the structure of sport participation is an important factor in determining the effect of sport participation on crime. The relationship between sport and crime can be controlled if the sport participation programmes are specifically designed toward development of youth, providing the appropriate support, opportunities and services.
