This document discusses delivering impact through community sports programs. It provides an agenda for a meeting on this topic, including presentations on the impact and value of sports focused community investment, and case studies from Premier League 4 Sport and Sky Sports Living for Sports. There will also be an open panel discussion. The document then discusses the potential impact of sports investment on physical health, mental health, numeracy, and quality of life. However, evidence shows sports investment has produced mixed results, with decreases in some areas but increases in others. The document argues maximizing value requires coordinating activities to have broader impacts through partnerships. It also discusses balancing investments, innovating funding models, and creating long term sustainability.

• Power of the brand is key for engaging young people
• Young people like to see the elite performers to aspire to achieve
• The journey to make them a club member is not a straight path
• Competition is required regardless of ability – all want something to aim for
• Keep re-evaluating your programme and reassessing what is important – eg transition vs
regular participation
• Establish a programme model that has the ability to refresh and react
• Know what your base is and scope out potential
• Equally balanced governance model
• Appropriate finances provided for delivery and staffing
• PL co-ordinator role has been crucial

37. The future……………..
• Expansion to 12 sports – PL12Sport?
• Expansion to 32 clubs
• Partnership with Sport England
