Delivery System for Sport

Creating an active nation through sport

The delivery system for sport is all about connecting people taking part and local deliverers with policy makers and investors in a simple and coordinated way. The system has two clear aims:

To increase the number of people taking part in sport and recreation especially amongst the hard to reach
To build sporting pathways to support young people to achieve their full potential and sustain higher levels of participation

This web page aims to provide information and resources on the delivery system, but also capture how the system is developing in the East Midlands region.
