Sport development works with a wide range of partners to improve access to sporting opportunities across the city.
Sport development is closely aligned to delivery against local, regional and national targets in respect of crime reduction, the economy, health, education, cultural and environmental benefits.
All sport development programmes are designed to maximise participation in sport from all sections of the community and provide pathways that enable every resident to maximise their sporting abilities, aspirations and potential. Key aspects to the team’s work include:
-
Promoting and providing opportunities for groups and individuals to become more involved in sport and physical activity
-
Increasing the numbers of people participating and volunteering within sports clubs
-
Working with health and education to help improve health inequalities
-
Contribution consultancy services for such things as funding and training
-
Supporting clubs, sports coaches and officials to provide a range of formal sporting experiences from regular participation to competition
-
Developing recreational and informal sport and physical activity in local areas
