Year One

Sport England allocated Cornwall Sports Partnership £81,800 (£16,000 – Capacity, £65,800 – Delivery), in year one of a three year programme, to encourage and enable in excess of 1,728 ‘semi sporty’ young people in Cornwall (retention target) to increase their participation in sport and physical activity to five hours per week.

The year one programme operated from September 2008 to March 2009 with overall leadership and strategic co-ordination provided by the Cornwall Sports Partnership Core Team and projects selected through the Community Sports Networks (CSNs).

The SU programme targeted the age groups that evidence shows are more likely to drop out of sport and physical activity – those aged 10-12 (the transition from KS2 to KS3) and those aged 14-19.

The short report below will hopefully summarise the achievements and challenges we had during this period.
