Community & Sport Bulletin No. 141 (12/06)
06.04.2006 Hello! The aim of this bulletin is to disseminate relevant information such as breaking news, upcoming events, funding information, and generally share relevant information through our networks. The format of the bulletin has changed slightly this week, to reflect progress against Yorkshire’s six priorities for sport, which will ultimately help us to achieve the Yorkshire Plan for Sport’s target of a 1% increase in participation in sport, year on year. The priorities for 2006 are: 1. Building the Delivery System Priority: Create 4 operational county sports partnerships by April 2006. Promote greater understanding of Community Sports Networks. 2. Building Capacity Priority: More people to deliver and develop sport, whether paid or unpaid. 3. Marketing Sport Priority: To make Everyday Sport the umbrella physical activity marketing brand, increase the profile of local events and build on the legacy of the 2012 Olympic Games 4. Building Infrastructure Priority: Coordination between the public, private, voluntary and education sectors to make the most effective use of resources. 5. Improving Performance Priority: Use the inclusion of culture in the local authority Comprehensive Performance Assessment to raise the performance of the sport sector. 6. Strategic Planning Priority: Offer clear and positive guidance on sport through the Regional Spatial Strategy. The use of Active Places and other strategic planning tools to shape local policy and priorities and guide investment in sport. Secure additional investment into sport.
The bulletin is set out so that information is placed under the relevant regional priority, or in Celebrating Success; Fixtures or Jobs. Your feedback on this layout would be much appreciated. You can send this to Yorkshire.Comments@sportengland.org
