In the past few months the partnership of Creating Excellence and the Dame Kelly Holmes Legacy Trust has successfully secured the contract to deliver Sporting Champions on behalf of Sport England for the next two years.
Through a period of consultation with County Sports Partnerships (CSPs) and Champions, the scheme has been aligned with the new strategy, specifically focussing on the Five Hour Offer, contributing mostly towards supporting Sport Unlimited targets. The aspiration is for the Champions to be able to build long-term sustainable relationships with young people and their sporting network to support CSPs with their targets of raising participation in semi-sporty young people.
