It has been a transitional 12 months in community sport following the<br />
change of emphasis in <strong>Sport</strong> England’s latest strategy. CSPs have been<br />
identified as playing a key role in supporting NGBs to deliver the key outcomes<br />
of this strategy by providing a nationally agreed range of services<br />
that all NGBs can tap into. At the same time NGBs have had to produce new<br />
whole sport plans that articulate how they are going to deliver against <strong>Sport</strong><br />
England’s three key themes of Grow, Sustain and Excel. At a local level this<br />
means that most NGBs have been working through to the end of existing<br />
plans whilst working with <strong>Sport</strong> England to identify what resources will be<br />
in place to support delivery in the <strong>Staffordshire</strong> and Stoke sub-region from<br />
April 09. From a CSP perspective <strong>SASSOT</strong> has been working to ensure that<br />
it is fit for purpose and in a position to deliver all the required core services<br />
for NGBs under its new agreement with <strong>Sport</strong> England.<br />
Achievements<br />
