Sport England’s support and funding has allowed for key members of staff to be employed, including: a co-ordinator, a finance and support officer, a marketing and communications officer, a development officer for vulnerable people, a development officer for workplaces and a development officer responsible for family-based learning. Their task is to roll-out new physical activity programmes, promote health, set up a 'one stop shop website' and develop the Community Sports Network in Swindon.
