Why this survey matters
The IAG programme is nearing the end of its current funding cycle. To secure future investment and protect the opportunities that have been created so far, we must demonstrate, with evidence, the real-life impact the programme has had on players, clubs, parents, coaches, officials, activators and community partners.
Without strong evidence from this survey, it will be harder to protect and grow the opportunities IAG has created. The current funding cycle has come to an end and there are no guarantees for repeat funding. If we cannot demonstrate the programme's value, we may not be able to continue the same level of grassroots support in the future - not because we don't want to, but because we may not have the funding to do so.
Your voice will directly influence future funding bids, government conversations, and BWB's long-term plans for grassroots participation. High response rates matter: every survey completed strengthens the case for keeping and expanding this work.
What the survey will ask you
🏀Your participation journey: how you got involved and how that has changed since IAG
💪Physical activity: your activity levels before and since the IAG Programme
🧠Wellbeing: how being involved in wheelchair basketball through IAG has impacted you
🚧Barriers: what has changed in terms of access and inclusion and the challenges you continue to face
👤About you: a few questions to help us understand who IAG is reaching — age, gender, ethnicity and background. All optional.
This survey is for everyone who has been part of the IAG community — whether you play, coach, activate sessions, officiate, volunteer, deliver sessions, manage a club, or support someone who does. Please complete it, share it, and encourage others in your team or club to do the same.
Every response counts. Together, we can tell the story of what IAG has achieved and why wheelchair basketball is vital for communities.
