In conjunction with other public and private funding streams, including over £300m Exchequer funding, this investment has made a huge contribution to improving and enhancing sports provision in local communities across the country. At national level it has helped build our sporting infrastructure through projects such as the Manchester Commonwealth Games and the new Wembley Stadium. Sport England investments from Lottery funding have also provided support to talented athletes around the country. There were some great performances at the Olympics and Paralympics in Athens. Britain's Olympians ended the 2004 Games having surpassed their medal haul at Sydney in 2000. London’s Olympic Bid has made it through to the final five cities and raised the profile of sport significantly. In September 2004, Tony Blair, David Beckham and Sven Goran Eriksson were guests at the topping out of the new Wembley National Stadium. Its centrepiece arch was raised and lit up to celebrate the next stage in the building of the stadium. In the summer of 2004, the Activeplaces.com database went live with over 10,000 places to get fit, play sport and have fun. The database matches the Secretary of State’s commitment to create a ‘Domesday Book’ of facilities. During the year, this authoritative database of sports and fitness facilities in England was nominated as a finalist in the first e-Government National Awards. The launch of Active Places was followed up with the launch, in March 2005, of a new planning tool called Active Places Power, which is set to influence where sport and leisure facilities are built in the future. The new web-based tool provides the most comprehensive dataset of sports facilities across the country and has been designed to help local authorities and sports organisations to identify gaps in provision and form strategies for sports facility investment. To ensure the planning system delivers the best possible deal for sport through new development we have also developed a planning contributions kitbag. The kitbag is an online resource for local authorities, giving practical tools, useful sources of information, data and real examples of what can be achieved. The kitbag can be found at www.sportengland.org. Strategic leadership Following the publication of the Framework for Sport in England, 9 Regional Plans for Sport were developed and published in 2004-05. Developed by the people who know what is required in their communities delivery of these plans will have a real impact at a local level. Sport England has recently been identified as a key partner in delivering the recommendations of the Russell Commission Report on encouraging young people to volunteer. The report was published during the Chancellor's Budget Statement (March 2005). The Heritage Lottery Fund, Sport England, the Government and the private sector will join together to create Britain’s first national community service for young people: with private finance matching public, up to £150 million to recruit one million young volunteers. According to the Chartered Institute of Public Finance and Accountancy, local authorities spend over £1bn a year on sport and recreation. To ensure this investment achieves value for money Sport England has been working closely with the Audit Commission on the 4 development of the new Comprehensive Performance Assessment (CPA) framework for sport. The fact that culture, including a strong role for sport, has been included in the CPA is welcomed. In particular it is pleasing that culture has been valued on equal terms with other services such as housing and the environment. Sport England is committed to the continuous improvement of sport and recreation services and to ensuring they deliver strategic priorities in partnership with local authorities and other partners. Sport England has been co-ordinating a project that seeks to do this by creating the self-assessment improvement tool Towards an Excellent Service (TAES). Reforming the sporting landscape During the year Sport England and the Department for Culture, Media and Sport have worked alongside the leadership of the three main professional bodies for sport (Institute of Leisure and Amenity Management, the Institute of Sport and Recreation Management, and the National Association for Sports Development) on the creation of a single professional body. We therefore welcomed the recent results of ballots held by all three organisations in favour of the creation of a single professional body. We feel its creation is crucial to the ongoing modernisation of sport and will play a key role in driving up skills and improving services across the sector. We are also funding SkillsActive to create 9 regional networks for the development of the professional and volunteer workforce for sport. SkillsActive also work with Skills for Health to develop the training and qualifications framework to support effective delivery across health, sport and leisure. 1. Increasing physical activity Identified by the Framework for Sport in England as a key priority for action, Sport England has developed a national campaign for sport. A pilot campaign was delivered in the North East of England over the summer of 2004. The theme of ‘Everyday Sport’ combined TV, poster and PR campaigns with celebrity endorsement and support from local partners. Awareness of campaigns / programmes promoting sport, exercise or physical activity went up in the North East from 20% before the Everyday Sport campaign to 26% of people after the campaign. This compared to a decrease nationally over the same period from 34% to 30%. The biggest change in activity levels occurred in the less active respondents in the North East where the percentage of people defined as ‘inactive’ decreased from 41% to 36% compared to no change nationally. After the campaign 42% of respondents in the North East said that they intended to do more activity compared to 35% before the Everyday Sport campaign. We have also been working hard to further develop the national network of County Sports Partnerships. County Sports Partnerships will develop in line with the needs and priorities of sport and their sporting partners – bringing sport into the community and impacting results at the local level. There needs to be a genuine move towards a cohesive ‘single system’ for sport in the country and County Sports Partnerships will play a central role in this new system. To test the effectiveness of interventions to promote health and well-being in the workplace the Active England programme is supporting the establishment of a number of pilot projects. We hope these will encourage employers of all sizes across the public, private and voluntary sectors to engage and motivate their staff to be more active. 5 Jointly funded by Sport England, the Department of Health and the Countryside Agency, Local Exercise Action
