Netball South West

Netball South West is a charitable organisation dedicated to promoting community participation in netball across the South West of England. Established as a Charitable Incorporated Organisation in 2022, it operates as one of nine regional member organisations affiliated with England Netball, the national governing body for the sport in England[2][3].

The charity primarily focuses on encouraging healthy recreational activities for women and girls throughout the South West region, facilitating vibrant, inclusive, and high-quality netball opportunities. Its work is largely volunteer-driven, with support from a Regional Management Board and England Netball, ensuring the sport is accessible and enjoyable for all levels of players[1][3].

Netball South West organises and oversees a variety of events and competitions, including regional rounds of the National Schools Competition and walking netball festivals that attract significant participation. These activities foster community engagement and contribute to the growth and development of netball within the region[1].

In addition to promoting sport, Netball South West collaborates with local organisations to support broader social causes. For example, it has partnered with FearFree to raise awareness about abuse, provide training to recognise signs of abuse within sporting communities, and support families affected by domestic violence. This partnership highlights the organisation’s commitment not only to sport but also to the well-being and safety of its members and the wider community[5].

As a registered charity (number 1197522), Netball South West continues to enhance netball’s presence in the South West by combining grassroots development, competitive opportunities, and social impact initiatives.
