What We Do; Our Strategy
South Yorkshire Sport is one of a network of 49 County Sports Partnerships (CSP) within England. They fulfil a critical role in linking national and regional sporting opportunities and programmes with local sporting structures. When this is done, it improves the range of opportunities available for the people of South Yorkshire to participate in high quality sport and physical activity.
The South Yorkshire CSP is currently a ‘hosted’ partnership, which means that by agreement, Barnsley Metropolitan Borough Council play a major role in supporting the work that we do. The Partnership also engages the remaining three South Yorkshire local authorities, National Governing Bodies of sport (NGB’s), and other partners who are keen to use sport as a way of tackling wider social challenges.
Our main work involves supporting 46 nationally identified NGB’s with the delivery of their plans for their sport. Known as whole sport plans, these documents identify how the sport will develop over the next few years in the run up to the London 2012 Olympic Games and beyond. Our job is to work with NGB’s to ensure these plans bring benefits to sport in South Yorkshire.
