Exploring contextual barriers and enablers for the potential involvement of voluntary sports clubs in social prescribing: a qualitative case study in Denmark

While outreach to underrepresented target groups can be administratively challenging for volunteers in sports clubs, intersectoral collaborations, such as social prescribing, may enhance visibility, referral, and engagement for these groups in voluntary sports clubs. Nevertheless, prioritising capacity building and supportive structures that align with voluntary sports clubs' organisational culture may be essential to alleviate volunteer strain and broaden access to community-based physical activity options, potentially contributing to a more sustainable involvement of voluntary sports clubs in social prescribing initiatives.
