team BEDS&LUTON

team BEDS&LUTON is one of 49 County Sports Partnerships (CSPs) situated across England.

The main focus of these CSPs is to actively encourage and increase participation and access to all forms of sport and physical activity for all age groups and are pivotal in delivering the 1% increase per year participation target.

The 1st April 2009 signified a milestone in the life of CSPs. Much has changed since their emergence in 2006, including the strategic direction of Sport England, team BEDS&LUTON’s main funder.

Working with the School Sports Partnership, team BEDS&LUTON regularly supply and source coaches for schools, providing unique opportunities to try a variety of sporting or physical activities not usually available within the standard curriculum.

In addition, as part of the national focus on increased sport participation, team BEDS&LUTON actively promote this participation through local and county based initiiatives.

Working in partnership at the heart of the community to support, develop and promote high quality opportunities to allow everyone to get involved, stay involved and succeed in sport and physical activity - that is team BEDS&LUTON's primary objective.
