Local variation case studies

Alongside the quantitative findings we have produced two local area case studies, providing a range of interesting insights into best practice in high performing areas.

Although different, both areas have shown consistently higher than ‘expected’ levels of participation:

London Borough of Camden

Camden’s case study highlights the following key messages:

• Make the most of any natural advantages (environment, demographics)
• To be successful, investment needs to be sustained over time
•  Local leadership is important

Derbyshire

Derbyshire’s case study highlights the following key messages:

• Drivers of participation are complex and broad there is no single ‘magic’ bullet
• Civic participation and sporting participation appear to be interrelated
• Partnerships built on the wider value of sport can increase participation
• Commitment to sport in an area needs to be sustained over time
