How the partnership works

Bringing together local and national agencies with seven borough based community networks

Understanding the needs of our richly diverse population is a strength of the Community Sport and Physical Activity Networks, which are central to the partnership.

Operating at borough level, they consist of local partners all working together to lead, plan and provide sport and physical activity opportunities in their specific areas.
