and voluntary sectors in providing local
sporting opportunities and facilities

The Public Sector
Public sector sports facilities include parks, sports
centres, community halls and swimming pools. The costs
of these facilities are met by central and local
government through a system of national and localtaxation. The money that members of the public pay to
go swimming only partially goes some way to covering
the pools running cost.
Local authority sports facilities are provided on a
discretionary basis, which means that the council does
not have to provide them in the same way that it has a
legal obligation to provide schools and hospitals.

Public sector organisations do not have to make aprofit like the private sector but they usually break even.This means that the running costs they incur must beequal to the amount of income they receive fromsubsidies and admission charges. At very least, theymust be seen to be giving value for money.

The main objective of public sector facilities is not,
therefore, financial but to provide sports facilities but to
provide sports facilities for the whole community. They
provide opportunities for sport for people on low incomes
by reducing admission costs. The aim is to present a
programme of activities that caters for as many
communities groups as possible.

There must also be a balance achieved between casual
use and club sessions. Some people do not want to
belong to a club and thus play a particular sport on aregular basis, but would still like to play occasionally. If a
sports centre did not allocate time to such people, it
would be discriminating against them.
The public sector also aims to extend the use of its
facilities as much as possible. This means a centre will
be open for as long as possible and will offer a range of
other activities, such as fundraising marathons and
classes for children during the school holidays. The
ultimate objective is to provide as many sports and as
many opportunities for leisure activities as possible for
the local population

Local Authorities in the Public
Sector
Local authorities should work closely with clubs
to encourage participation in those clubs, rather
than seeking to provide sports opportunities
themselves, which may be opposition to the
service provided at club level.

The Private Sector
The private sector is concerned with making money from
the products or services it provides. Any profits that are
made from the business are shared between those
people who invested the money in the first place or areused to develop the business further. Private sector
provision is therefore often said to be demand led. This
means that private sector organisations will only provide
sports activities when there is a profit to be made.

Health and fitness clubs provide for increasing demand
among the public for fitness equipment and fitness
classes. The membership fees for such clubs, however,can be expensive, and this may deter some people from
joining. Facilities in the private sector therefore unlikely
to provide opportunities for minority sports or to subside
the cost of participation.
The private sector is becoming a major player in the
provision of sport. However, they are selective as to
which activities to be involved with (only those that are
profitable), and their pricing structure means that somesectors of the community can not afford the charges.

Private sector businesses are involved in a wide range of
sporting activities. These include sports retail, gambling,
spectator sports and sports you can participate in. Theyalso come in many forms. A private sector business that
is owned and operated by one person is known as a sole
trader. A sole trader might be a freelance sports coach
who is self employed and who work in a number ofdifferent organisations.

Voluntary Sector
Voluntary sector organisations usually exist to meet a
local need, and thus they vary greatly in terms of size
and aims. Often, people with a shared interest form
clubs or societies. Committees are sometimes elected by
the clubs members so that a more formal structure is
established.
Clubs may be run by unpaid volunteers, although
sometimes people are paid expenses. In contrast, some
voluntary organisations, such as the YMCA, employ paid
staff and have budgets of millions of pounds. Voluntary
clubs often hire facilities rather than owning their own.

Voluntary sports clubs are very important to sport in the
UK. People who can not afford the fees charged by
private clubs might join a local club run by volunteers.This promotes sports inclusion and is one of UK Sports
key aims. Clubs are also the grass roots for reaching
elite levels of many sports.

NGBs provide support, advice, guidance and
encouragement but do not dictate what the club
should do. Many Grant initiatives reward voluntary bodies if
they do more work because some are in clear
need of urgent support.
Non-Profit making sports clubs are sustained
and developed through voluntary effort,
administered at little or no cost to the public
purse but are penalised financially because theyare included as a business for the payment of
rates and suffer many other tax burdens in which
charities are exempt.

Partnerships between private, public and
voluntary sectors
These three sectors are related in a number of ways.
Private companies frequently manage public facilities.
This means that councils will invite companies to submit
a tender to run facilities, the company offering the lowest
figure will normally win the contract, providing it can
meet certain criteria.
Two sources of funding open to voluntary sector
organisations are local grants provided by local authority
and National Lottery grants provided by the centralgovernment. Voluntary sports clubs are also unlikely to
be able to afford their own facilities and will therefore
hire facilities from the public sector. For example
Gowerton F.C. hire the Elba to play and train.

The voluntary and public sectors sometimes receive
sponsorship from private sector organisations. This is avery important source of income as, without this money,
many clubs would struggle to survive.
One form of co-operation that exists within the same
sector is the provision of dual-use facilities. A sports
facility built part of a school will be run by the public
sector and work with the local council to provide a facilityfor the school to use during the day and the public during
evening or weekends.
