Local government
Local government spends approximately £1 billion per year
on sport and leisure - more than 50% of the total resources
available to sport every year.
Sport England has always worked closely with local authorities
to help them develop sport in their area. And we will continue to
do so as we deliver our strategy for 2008-2011.
Our team of local government experts - who work nationally,
regionally and locally - provide advocacy, advice and support to
local councils.
We have produced a range of tools, publications and guidance to
help local authorities increase the quantity and quality of
opportunities to take part in sport.
Our work also involves brokering relationships to help national
governing bodies and local councils work together and reach shared
goals.
Promoting joint investment opportunities is particularly
important, especially where councils have a clear strategic
commitment to sport and leisure.
