Sport in the Community

The Cheshire East Sports Development Team recognizes that sport and physical activity can play a major role in developing the local community.

It has the power to change communities and lives for the better, building people’s confidence, providing them with drive and ambition. Most of all sport and physical activity provides meeting places and creates friendships. It can even direct young people away from crime and anti social behaviour.

The Department of Culture, Media and  Sport and Sport England are now clear that sport and those involved in its delivery can help local authorities fulfil their duties. For more information on this please visit Sport England. The SDT organise a variety of community and referral based programmes that work in partnership with local voluntary, public and private sector groups such as Connexions. Social Services and the Youth Offending Team. The SDT provide these opportunities so that local people have the opportunity to engage with others, learn new skills and build community involvement.
