The governing body relied heavily on this funding, and so needed to find other ways to make money.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Its second key funding stream is Sport Wales, which recently introduced the School Sport Survey. The survey determines how much money a governing body receives based on demand.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The survey asks pupils in Welsh schools what sports they participate the most in, and which ones they might want to participate in. Depending on the results of the survey,  Hoci Cymru could receiving a further 10% decrease in funding.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cUsing insight from the School Sport Survey (for children) and the National Survey for Wales (for adults), funding is now being re-distributed so that it can be used to make the biggest impact in terms of tackling inequalites and providing a great experience for all,&#8221; said Owen Hathway, Sport Wales\u2019 Assistant Director for Insight, Policy and Public Affairs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThis new approach has meant that some partners\u2019 investment levels have decreased, while others have increased. Sport Wales is fully committed to prioritising inclusive sport and we are being braver and bolder in listening to what the people of Wales want\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The School Sport Survey&#8217;s changes to its funding model means other sports may also find their funding changes. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What else is changing?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"512\" height=\"341\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/cardiffjournalism.co.uk\/thecardiffian\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/9\/2024\/02\/hl-38330906139.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-82231\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cardiffjournalism.co.uk\/thecardiffian\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/9\/2024\/02\/hl-38330906139.jpg 512w, https:\/\/cardiffjournalism.co.uk\/thecardiffian\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/9\/2024\/02\/hl-38330906139-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/cardiffjournalism.co.uk\/thecardiffian\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/9\/2024\/02\/hl-38330906139-370x247.jpg 370w, https:\/\/cardiffjournalism.co.uk\/thecardiffian\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/9\/2024\/02\/hl-38330906139-293x195.jpg 293w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 512px) 100vw, 512px\" \/><noscript><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"512\" height=\"341\" src=\"https:\/\/cardiffjournalism.co.uk\/thecardiffian\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/9\/2024\/02\/hl-38330906139.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-82231\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cardiffjournalism.co.uk\/thecardiffian\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/9\/2024\/02\/hl-38330906139.jpg 512w, https:\/\/cardiffjournalism.co.uk\/thecardiffian\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/9\/2024\/02\/hl-38330906139-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/cardiffjournalism.co.uk\/thecardiffian\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/9\/2024\/02\/hl-38330906139-370x247.jpg 370w, https:\/\/cardiffjournalism.co.uk\/thecardiffian\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/9\/2024\/02\/hl-38330906139-293x195.jpg 293w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 512px) 100vw, 512px\" \/><\/noscript><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\"><strong>Three youngsters playing hockey on a tennis court, in front of &#8216;Switch the Pitch&#8217; banner.<\/strong> Credit: Hockey Wales<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>The funding cuts have inspired the organisation to steer away from traditional ideas about where and how the sport is played &#8211; and who plays it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>One of the challenges can be facilities. A new scheme called \u2018Switch the Pitch\u2019 promotes the idea that hockey can be played anywhere; in school gyms and playgrounds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>New leagues will be set up between primary schools that are close together, to make competitive sport accessible to schools without facilities such as AstroTurf\u2019s or minibuses.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cIf hockey can be played anywhere, it is more likely that school children will want to get involved and an increase in participation might ensure a sustainable future for our sport,\u201d said Alice Gregory. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Finally, they are aiming for the sport to appeal to a more diverse range of people. One of the ways they are doing this is through understanding neurodiversity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>All Hoci Cymru coaches are given the opportunity to complete a qualification in disability and inclusion.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"565\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/cardiffjournalism.co.uk\/thecardiffian\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/9\/2024\/02\/IMG_6465-1024x565.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-82232\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cardiffjournalism.co.uk\/thecardiffian\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/9\/2024\/02\/IMG_6465-1024x565.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/cardiffjournalism.co.uk\/thecardiffian\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/9\/2024\/02\/IMG_6465-300x165.jpg 300w, https:\/\/cardiffjournalism.co.uk\/thecardiffian\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/9\/2024\/02\/IMG_6465-770x425.jpg 770w, https:\/\/cardiffjournalism.co.uk\/thecardiffian\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/9\/2024\/02\/IMG_6465-293x162.jpg 293w, https:\/\/cardiffjournalism.co.uk\/thecardiffian\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/9\/2024\/02\/IMG_6465.jpg 1095w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><noscript><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"565\" src=\"https:\/\/cardiffjournalism.co.uk\/thecardiffian\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/9\/2024\/02\/IMG_6465-1024x565.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-82232\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cardiffjournalism.co.uk\/thecardiffian\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/9\/2024\/02\/IMG_6465-1024x565.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/cardiffjournalism.co.uk\/thecardiffian\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/9\/2024\/02\/IMG_6465-300x165.jpg 300w, https:\/\/cardiffjournalism.co.uk\/thecardiffian\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/9\/2024\/02\/IMG_6465-770x425.jpg 770w, https:\/\/cardiffjournalism.co.uk\/thecardiffian\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/9\/2024\/02\/IMG_6465-293x162.jpg 293w, https:\/\/cardiffjournalism.co.uk\/thecardiffian\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/9\/2024\/02\/IMG_6465.jpg 1095w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/noscript><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\"><strong>Lily Morgan presenting her project, Neurodiversity in Sport.<\/strong> Credit: Lily Morgan<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Younger years coach at Cardiff Met University and Hockey Wales Steering group member, Lily Morgan, has autism and sees the importance in these changes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThe steps Hockey Wales is taking to achieve an inclusive environment are really important.
