Dear Readers,

Welcome to Issue 88 of the sportanddev e-Newsletter!

“The challenges of fundraising a sport and development project into reality open a series of articles exploring project financing. A coach shares his experience of overcoming another common obstacle in S&D projects – communication – and I outline the benefits of incorporating more physical activity into our working lives to reduce the risks associated with neglecting our need for movement.

An increasing number of events are taking place, and there are multiple job opportunities on offer including positions within the Operating Team at sportanddev. We welcome the recently launched open journal dedicated to the S&D field, and a photojournalism book from London 2012 showcasing disability sport. UK Sport publishes a review of HIV counselling and testing in S&D programmes, and we have the latest article in our exclusive EACCES series.

Enjoy your reading,

Alister Bignell
Project Officer
