School Sport Partnerships have today been given a small lifeline by the Government in its decision to continue to fund the national programme to the end of the academic year, and then to provide a reduced rate of funding until 2013.
This decision, which comes after 2 months of campaigning following the decision to remove the £162 million annual grant, just 1 1/2 years before the Olympics and Paralympic Games, should enable the SSPs some breathing space; time in which to work in a more considered (rather than reactionary) way in conjunction with their local partners in an effort to create a sustainable infrastructure.
Below are some links to national reportage on the subject.
