England Basketball Annual Report & Accounts 2012

England Basketball have released their annual report and accounts this week, featuring detailed accounts of the governing body’s activities over the past year (year ending 31st May 2012).

For anyone interested in the administration side of things, it is always worth a read – check it here.

A few notes/thoughts:

Notes

EB have submitted their whole sport plan to Sport England for the 2013-2017 period and are expected to hear of their funding allocation in the new year.
EB saw a 6.2% (2,534 people) increase in affiliated members over the past year.
Amazing what can be done in a year. Out of nowhere, Reach & Teach is now the biggest basketball club in the country. Reach & Teach, run by Nhamo Shire, is the organisation responsible for the London School of Basketball which launched last year and has provided grassroots opportunities for thousands of young players.
Their latest facility investment is in Worcester, where EB awarded £375,000 for a three court community basketball centre with seating for 2000. It is due to open in 2013, and will be the home of the Worcester Wolves programme, as well as host England Basketball events. Last year, EB invested in UEL Sports Dock which has now opened (was surprised that EB didn’t use it for any of their big events this year?).
The North West remains the region with the most affiliated members, however, London is gaining fast, now just 1000 members behind (for the year ending May 2011, London was over 2000 behind).
You can check out their annual report for 2011 here.

Do you like our work?

We have a tiny favour to ask. In 2018 we set out to make Hoopsfix sustainable by building our relationship directly with our readers. Up until now, Hoopsfix has been creating editorials, videos and podcasts to provide sorely missing coverage of the British game and its distinct culture and community.

We have funded Hoopsfix with our freelance work creating basketball media, but sadly that means not only does it fall behind our client’s priorities, but some of those clients are the same organisations we need to report objectively on putting us in a conflicted position.

We want to devote more time to our mission of helping British basketball reach its potential, and produce even more content for the basketball community by making Hoopsfix a sustainable 100% independent business funded directly by our readers through Patreon.

If everyone who enjoys our content chose to support us, our future would be much more secure. For as little as $3 per month, you can support Hoopsfix – and it only takes a minute.

We are tremendously honoured and humbled to have a community of people who value what we do, and we look forward to being at the forefront of the British game as it continues to evolve.
