"It is great to be partnering with a progressive, professional Local Authority Sport Development Team, with such strong links in the local community. The shared values in developing people are key ingredients to this successful partnership. USW Sport students have the opportunity to grow as coaches/development officers and individuals with the Sport RCT leadership and mentoring programme. We are excited to continue working together and strengthening our relationship within Sport Development."

"A newly formed partnership with Sport RCT proved to be very successful. Sport RCT delivered sector specific training which was tailored to give individuals who had a keen interest in sport, the opportunity to progress onto employment within the Coaching Industry. We would definitely welcome the opportunity to work with Jodie and Sport RCT in the near future.”

Jade Baxter
Public Health Dietitian
Cwm Taf Morgannwg University Health Board

“We partnered with Sport RCT for support with improving our Food & Fun nutrition sessions & make them more physically active & interactive for the children. The team were very positive & welcomed the idea to work together. They came up with great ideas for our Eatwell Guide, Sugar and Go & Whoa sessions, created activity cards & brought the games to life in our facilitation day with our Food & Fun staff. I really enjoyed working with everyone, they went above and beyond for Food & Fun this year! Thank you very much for your hard work.” 

Robert Wedlake
Head Coach and Co-director
Tennis Squad Ltd 

“Tennis Squad have a long-standing working relationship with Sport RCT where we have put on tennis activities for the community. During 2023 our Primary Schools Festivals at Llantrisant LTC and Rhondda LTC were a big success where over 400 local children were given the opportunity to try the game and provided with free and low-cost follow-on offers. Sam and the team at Sport RCT were instrumental in the planning and delivery of the sessions, and their links with schools and trainee sports coaches helped ensure that all participants were given a fantastic experience of our sport.”

Huw Griffiths
Headteacher
Caegarw Primary School 

“Their dedicated team demonstrated exceptional commitment by delivering the 'movement matters' training to all staff at Caegarw Primary School. As a result, the movement matters program has been seamlessly integrated into our foundation phase, ensuring that every pupil receives regular, high-quality physical activity. Additionally, Sport RCT's invaluable support enabled our school to secure grant funding for the purchase of an indoor curling set, enriching our afterschool provision. The team also provided essential balance bike training sessions, equipping our staff to manage an afterschool balance bike club for nursery and reception age pupils. Furthermore, their assistance in our grant funding application for school balance bikes has enabled us to extend this offering to our pupils over weekends and school holidays. Their delivery of whole-school online HIIT sessions has also been a resounding success, enhancing key events such as the football world cup. Sport RCT has proven to be an indispensable partner, enriching our school's physical activity provision immeasurably.”

Kelly Reddy
Coach
Aberaman Ladies and Girls FC 

“We would not have been able to have such an increase in new players to the club if we hadn’t reached out to Sport RCT. Their golden ticket scheme and ability to liaise with the local schools really were the key points in our success. Without them we wouldn’t have run a school’s tournament or summer camp. We would like to thank them for their support and effort that they have put into our club.”

Natalie Godwin
Chair/Head Coach
Church Village Netball Club 

“I would recommend anyone who is looking to start a new session or new club to get in touch with Sport RCT. They helped with mass promotion of my new club and then helped me through every step of the funding process with Sport Wales. The setting up of the club became a less daunting experience just by reaching out to them.”

RCT Work and Skills

"Over the past 12 months, Sport RCT and RCT Work and Skills have developed a highly productive partnership through the joint coordination and delivery of 12 cohorts of the A Step Ahead project. Through this we have been able to engage with groups of individuals within our communities that we previously struggled to do. Reaching our target audience has enabled us to achieve outcomes within our project and also contributed to the People and Communities section of the RCT Corporate Plan." 

Early Years Wales

"We have truly valued working in partnership with the Sport RCT Team to deliver the Active Baby at Home programme. We have been able to reach families at a critical stage, empowering parents and carers with the knowledge, confidence, and practical tools to support their baby's development during the first months of life. Collaboration has strengthened the quality and reach of the work, ensuring it was relevant, accessible, and rooted in local communities." 

RCT Play Development

"Our partnership with Sport RCT continues to be a huge asset to Play Services. Their team brings energy, expertise, and a shared commitment to getting children active through fun, inclusive opportunities. Working together strengthens our play events, offering a wider variety of engaging activities that help children build confidence, try new experiences, and simply enjoy being active. Having Sport RCT alongside us enhances the quality of every event, and we're proud to collaborate with a team who values children's wellbeing and play as much as we do."
