Sport England’s 2008-11 Strategy
14 March 2008

“Sport England submitted, earlier this week, its headline proposals for its 2008-11 strategy to the Secretary of State for Culture, Media and Sport and the Minister for Sport.  I am delighted that they have indicated that they agree with the direction of travel and have tasked us with working up, and consulting on, a detailed delivery plan.  The Sport England Board and the External Challenge Group, who are helping us develop our proposals, have also endorsed the headline strategy.    

Sport England will operate at a strategic level working with and through national governing bodies drawing in other partners including local authorities. Sport England will have a strong national team, regional teams with a tighter focus and would work with county sport partnerships who will deliver specific outcomes.

This statement has been agreed with the Department for Culture, Media and Sport.”
