  • Community Plan 27-End with Cover Ali.Qxd
    PURBECK COMMUNITY PARTNERSHIP - COMMUNITY PLAN FOR PURBECK PURBECK COMMUNITY 1.7. IntroductionSupporting Groups PARTNERSHIP There are other groups covering the following areas that will support the work of the Purbeck Community Partnership Task Groups: SPORT AND RECREATION Sport and recreation activities have traditionally been promoted for their own sake, however, they are now also being used to increase the quality of life for individuals and communities by successfully tackling locally identified social issues. Sport and recreation has a very important role in delivering many of the key issues that have been identified in the Purbeck Community Plan. Although sport and recreation has not been considered as a priority theme in its own right it can act as a 'vehicle' or 'tool' to help deliver the priority themes of crime reduction, transport, health, and young people. Winning the bid to host the Olympics in 2012 has guaranteed that nationally sport and recreation will have a high profile for the foreseeable future. The challenge that hosting the Olympics has set at a local level is in promoting greater participation and developing talent in competitive activities. Lead organisation: Purbeck District Council. Contact: Sport and Recreation Development Officer. Tel: 01929 557336. TOURISM Purbeck District Council Tourism Service aims to ensure that the community and economic benefits which tourism brings are maximised for the majority of the District's population, consistent with the need to minimise environmental impact. Tourism can help to drive forward priority and key issues within the community plan. This is achieved in partnership with a number of organisations including: Town & Parish Councils, Purbeck Heritage Committee, Purbeck Tourism Group, the Association of Purbeck Tourism Attractions, Swanage & Purbeck Hoteliers, the Best of Dorset Attractions Consortium, and the Jurassic Coast World Heritage Site team, to name a few.
