Community: Sport & Physical Activity Alliances

Sport and Physical Activity Alliances (SPAA’s) are essentially a group of local deliverers of sport and physical activity whose objective is to increase participation and widen access to opportunities at a local level. These alliances form an important part of the Delivery System for community sport and physical activity in England, as established by a national policy initiated by Sport England.
SPAAs will:

• Influence and develop policy and strategy for the delivery of sport and physical activity at a local level based on a robust local needs analysis;
• Build local capacity to increase participation
• Develop a locally shared vision with buy in from the key partners including the Local Strategic Partnership (LSP);
• Provide Local Strategic Partnerships and Local Area Agreements with a mechanism to work with and through sport and physical activity;
• Secure resources from a broad range of sources;
• Focus on building capacity to increase participation;
