Funding sport activities and developments has become an increasingly complex and challenging process. How your Local Strategic Partnership or elected members value the contribution of sport may be crucial to the success of any funding strategy you may have. Seeking funding, therefore, goes hand-in-hand with promoting the value of sport in your council, amongst member and in your community and with consultation with stakeholders. Regardless of whether you are seeking funding locally or from an external source you will require the backing of your Council, its partners and the local community.
