Delivering innovative programmes through our partnership relationships

As a registered charity, we see our role not simply as a leisure contractor, but as a partner to the Council and other stakeholders within the local community.

That's why our approach to sports and community development is based on a number of core beliefs:

• Forming good partnerships and working collaboratively with local and national organisations
• Supporting local sports clubs
• Using sport as a diversionary activity to help reduce crime and disorder
• Helping the personal development of young people including promoting positive behaviour, confidence and improving educational attainment
• Making it easier for people to achieve healthier lifestyles
• Building social networks within communities
• Promoting equality in sport by encouraging those who traditionally have not taken part in sport to participate

 Our objectives

• Innovative programming for all in the community, opening access to underrepresented groups
• Increasing participation
• Creating strong partnerships
• Developing the workforce with training and employment opportunities
• Supporting the growth of sport in the community
• Quality coaching programmes
• Promoting a healthy lifestyle

Our communities can use our list of the National Governing Bodies of Sport.
