Sport Unlimited End of Programme Report Now Available!
Sport Unlimited was a three year (2008-11) £36 million programme of Sport England funded projects to encourage semi-sporty young people to engage in, be retained in and sustain more sports participation. It was an important element of the PE and Sport Strategy for Young People, part of the 2012 Olympics legacy objectives: "The DCMS will deliver a successful and inspirational Olympic and Paralympic Games in 2012 that provide for a sustainable legacy and get more children and young people taking part in high quality PE and sport". The programme implemented precise plans generated by County Sports Partnerships (CSPs). Their major role was to undertake a planning and implementation process and identify providers that could offer high quality and sustainable activities for young people in 8-10 week blocks. In essence Sport England funded CSPs to manage the programme in their county areas who in turn funded local deliverers to implement sporting activities for young people.
County Durham Sport is highlighted in the report as an example of one of 6 CSPs consistently achieving their annual targets year on year from the very first year of the Sport Unlimited programme.
