**Commission on public**
**benefit)**|With the Charity Commission guidance on public benefit
in mind during our fifth year as a charity we have
maintained and updated the free educational website for
coaches, parents and players. This website provides
guidance on how to reduce serious knee injuries through
using an easy, structured warm-up which reduces ACL
ruptures by 50% in young sportspeople. A video of the
PEP injury prevention warm-up shows the exercises
individually with guidance on good knee positioning.
Where sports have sport-specific warm-ups we signpost
coaches, parents and players to their specific sports injury
prevention advice. If coaches would like to attend a face-
to-face training session there is an online booking facility.
The trustees have continued to deliver free, face-to-face
training to grassroots coaches in rugby, football and
netball clubs in the Oxfordshire and Berkshire.
We have continued to expand this injury prevention
initiative nationally during the past year by working to
steadily increase the network of national
ambassadors/trainers who support Power Up To Play’s
work and/or run face-to-face training sessions for
grassroot coaches in different parts of the UK. We now
have over 130 ambassadors.
This expansion has involved valued support from key
stakeholders including the British Association for Surgery of the
Knee and the British Orthopaedic Association. In addition we
are working with other key stakeholders including the UK ACL
Injury Prevention Strategy Collaborative and the Women's ACL
Injury Research Group to raise the profile of injury prevention
nationally and advance the research knowledge in this area.
Power Up to Play are also collaborating with King's College
London and have had a successful co-application for a PhD
student to research the challenges of implementing a national
injury prevention programme.
We also take opportunities to raise the profile of this
public health issue by attending international conferences
talking about the work of Power Up To Play and the
importance of injury prevention and by using social media
to help generate interest and awareness of the work of
Power up to Play.| |---|---| March **2012** **TAR** 3 ## **Additional details of objectives and activities (Optional information)** ## **Charity name change** Following consultation with coaches and players (via an anonymous survey) we changed the charity's name from an acronym (SKIPP) to Power Up To Play. The aim of this name change is to be more accessible and relevant to coaches, youth players and the wider general public. You **may choose** to include further statements, where relevant, about: - policy on grantmaking; - policy programme related investment; - contribution made by volunteers. ## Section D Achievements and performance March **2012** **TAR** 4 Section D Achievements and performance **Summary of the main achievements of the charity during the year** **Website** Maintaining and updating our website http://www.poweruptoplay.org/ This year we have have made the following changes and improvements to the charity website: § changing the charity name on the website and updating the email contacts to reflect the new name Power Up To Play (PUTP in rest of document) § adding a booking page to the website so that training events can be advertised centrally and coaches can book on here directly.

We have held 3 of these events which have proved very successful. We had a stall again at the Mixed Netball Tournament held in Buckinghamshire with 100 attendees. **National initiative** We now have over 130 ambassadors in over 40 counties in England, Northern Ireland, Scotland and Wales. Some ambassadors support us in their clinics discussing the initiative with their patients. Others organise their own face-to-face coach training in their areas including Hampshire, Devon, Cornwall, Somerset, Gloucestershire, Hertfordshire, Greater Manchester, Yorkshire, South Wales and Tayside. Further events are planned soon in in Birmingham, Sheffield, South London, Bristol and Cambridgeshire. **Raising Awareness: Media, marketing and communications** Sky Sports news had a day devoted to ACL injuries and their prevention in May 2023. PUTP was live on their programme discussing the importance of injury prevention warm-ups. BBC South have interviewed PUTP ambassadors. We now have Twitter, Instagram and LinkedIn accounts which are used to raise public awareness of the Power up to Play initiative. ## **Collaborations - local, national and international Local** - § We have collaborated locally with the community/charity arms of Oxfordshire and Reading Football Clubs with the common aim of improving welfare for young sportspeople. - **National** - § PUTP is collaborating with FA Wales to write an injury prevention module for the initial level football coaching badge. - § PUTP has also been invited to join the ACL Injury Prevention National Strategy Collaborative with other interested members including Kings College public health department and professors of orthopaedic surgery from Cambridge, Sheffield and Warwick - § PUTP has been invited to take part in a national Female ACL Delphi study to help identify and prioritise research March **2012** **TAR** 5 ## ## erformance p areas in female ACL injuries due to the considerable increased risk for females. - § We have national support from British Association for Surgery of the Knee (BASK); British Association of Orthopaedics (BOA), British Association of Sport and Exercise Medicine (BASEM), British Society for Children's Orthopaedic Surgery (BSCOS), British Orthopaedic Sports Trauma and Arthroscopy Association (BOSTAA) ## **International** - § Three trustees visited the Skadefri injury prevention programme at the Oslo Trauma Research Centre in Norway.
