1. Research what your community wants

This should be the starting point for your Community Games as part of its success will depend on your ability to deliver what your community wants. The following questions are useful to consider:       

• What are your community’s interests? For example, is there a local sports team that is supported passionately? If so, you could ask them to be involved on the day.

• What is the age and ethnic make-up of your community? This could influence what activities you include.

• Can you link your Community Games into another event, e.g. the opening of a new sports facility?
• How can you ensure that activities are staged for all ages and abilities – including those with disabilities?

2. Develop the ideas and programme that you will deliver

This stage should be used to help design the programme of sporting and cultural activities for your Community Games. The event should provide an outlet for your community to pursue their interests, but importantly also give them new things to try and experience.

3. Put the plan into action!

This is where you need to begin the actual organisation and implement the delivery of the Community Games.
