Sport and Physical Activity Alliances

• As a result of the new Sport England Strategy it
  is a local decision to whether the SPAAs are
  sustained within each of the local areas.
• In Merseyside all six local areas will sustain
  their SPAA in accordance to local need for
  example, Wirral will move the SPAA into a
  Partnership Board with a wider range of partners
  who will commission funding from the PCT and
  other service providers.
• Agenda items will vary from each local area but
  will include Extending Activity, commissioning
  the delivery of activity across local areas,
  market segmentation, BSF, facility development,
  district sports council updates, 2012 Olympics,
  work force development.

• Merseyside Sports Partnership will operate
  effectively to add value, support and enhance
  the work and priorities of National Governing
  Bodies as per the contract with Sport England,
  however we are only as good if an NGB knows what
  it needs in Merseyside!!!
