Cork Sports Partnership

The Irish Sports Council (ISC) has recognised that Local Sports Partnerships (LSPs)are an excellent mechanism for delivering recreational sport to local people. Key tasks that the Partnerships are involved in include: -

• The creation and implementation of plans for long-term local sports development
• The establishment of a sustainable structure to assist all those involved in local sports development to face the associated challenges - e.g. recruiting and managing volunteers, quality training, etc
• Delivery of projects and programmes particularly for target groups - Establishing networks at local level and liaising with existing initiatives

"The Irish Sports Council aims to have more people, more active in sport, and by achieving that goal assist in the building of a healthier society"

The three main functions of the LSPs are to provide information, to provide quality opportunities for education and training locally and to develop a strategic plan for local sport.
