LEISURE AND SPORT IN THE LOCAL COMMUNITY
Sport and leisure is not only good for your health, it can also bring community together. Local town councils can play a key role by encouraging people of all ages to do sports and by creating places where they can play.
They can:
•
create and develop sporting facilities, sports clubs and sports competitions.
• give anyone the opportunity to help by volunteering their time. use sport centres to create more job opportunities and reduce unemployment.
• use sport to give children and young people the chance to improve their skills and shape their character.
