Who We Are
A simple guide to the Cheshire & Warrington Sports Partnership
The Cheshire & Warrington Sports Partnership embraces a wide range of organisations providing a range of services and, with the appropriate structures in place, will continue working to create a single infrastructure for sport and physical activity which will be of added value and benefit to the residents of Cheshire and Warrington.
As an independent agency, the Partnership will interpret national and regional policy, whilst supporting key partners in their delivery of local objectives. It will promote co-ordinated approaches across the three main delivery sectors: education, sport and the community through the Community Sport Networks and respond both efficiently and effectively to an ever changing environment. The establishment of the Partnership builds on the work of Sport Cheshire who, over the past five years, have developed strong working relationships with a wide range of partners to facilitate the delivery of several national and regional initiatives across the county.
It is important to be clear about the distinction between the Cheshire and Warrington Sports Partnership and Sport Cheshire as an organisation. Sport Cheshire is the trading name of the Cheshire Sports Trust Ltd, a charitable organisation which receives funding from Sport England to service the wider Cheshire and Warrington Sports Partnership. The Company is also financed by grants from local authorities and central government, sponsorship and donations from commercial and charitable organisations, and miscellaneous fees and charges for services rendered. It functions as a facilitator and enabler and on occasions as a deliverer, for aspects of the work of the Partnership.
In addition Sport Cheshire has a strategic overview of sporting activity in the county and helps to link the Cheshire and Warrington Sports Partnership into regional and national networks. The Sport Cheshire team facilitates meetings between partners and co-ordinates specific areas of activity including coach, volunteer, sport specific and club development and works with minority and excluded groups. It also has a key advocacy role for sport across the county.
