Sport England Newsletter - 6 July 2011
Book your place on an Inspired Facililties
workshop
On 18 July we will be launching Inspired Facilities - a
key part of the Places People Play programme which will
deliver a mass participation sporting legacy from the
London 2012 Olympic and Paralympic Games.
Through Inspired Facilities we will invest National
Lottery funding in up to 1,000 community sports clubs.
In advance of the launch, we’d like to give you the
chance to sign up for a workshop where you will be able
to learn more about the programme.
Inspired Facilities will provide relatively small
capital grants to refurbish and improve the places where
people play sport, improving their sporting experience
and encouraging more people to get involved.
We will be running workshops in eleven locations
across the country and there will be three two-hour
sessions per day, each one targeting a specific
audience:
- 10:30am - local authorities, education
establishments, parish and town councils
- 2.30pm - Regional/local national governing body
staff and county sports partnerships
- 7pm - Community and voluntary groups and sport
clubs. To allow as many clubs to benefit from this
session we would prefer if only one representative
could attend from each organisation.
Spaces will be allocated on a first come, first
served basis so please register early to ensure you can
attend.
Please register by clicking on the relevant link
below, and entering your name, organisation and contact
details onto the email that opens up.
Workshops:
28 July: North West - Bolton
p>Don’t worry if you can’t attend a workshop as a film
of one of the sessions will be made available on our
website in August.
