Annual Report 2014/2015

Business Development
A positive but challenging year for Harbour Sport and its commercial partners. The
need to generate more income through commercial partnerships is a reality. Harbour
Sport’s events; Mud Rush, Shore to Shore and Sporting Excellence Awards providing
fantastic exposure for partners involved and the further development of Harbour Sport
programmes has created some more commercial opportunities.
Development of a Harbour Sport events team allowed Harbour Sport to provide a more
professional service to its partners. A greater service has allowed more opportunities to
leverage partners and increase their involvement. This has also stimulated interest from
some new commercial partners.
Local Boards continue to work with Harbour Sport to shape their local communities by
using sport and recreation to develop health, social and economic benefits, as well as
providing an enhanced sense of identity and wellbeing.
Charitable Trusts and Gaming funders have provided essential funding for the many
important sport and recreation programmes and projects throughout the year.
Harbour Sport has an increased investment into events, programmes and services for
the new financial year. The target is to increase revenue back into sport in the Harbour
region so we can continue to support the local community.
