Who can help?

No school exists in isolation. Partnerships are critical in order for schools to operate successful community use programmes. 

Partners can help you deliver your vision for community use by helping with the strategic positioning of the school, highlighting likely local interest  accessing the appropriateness of your facilities and helping to broker sporting partnerships.

Growing existing and establishing new partnerships is key to creating a sustainable and vibrant business plan.

There are always opportunities for schools to explore new and innovative partnerships and this is set to become even easier as every county sports partnership will soon have a sport link officer who will be able to help you build relations.

Examples of schools working with organisations such as national governing bodies of sport, local clubs and third sector agencies in partnership to deliver community use are set out on the delivery options pages of this website.
