How working in partnership can help

Working in partnership

There are many agencies who are committed to providing quality sporting and recreational programmes for young people in addition to clubs. In order to make the most of your resources and talent, as well as access the best opportunities for your members, it is beneficial to establish good working relationships with local partners including:

Schools
Local Council
Youth & Community groups
Disability organisations
School Sports Associations
Governing Bodies of sport
Commercial/ Professional Organisations
Local Media
Local Sports Councils

Developing community links is an ongoing process. Try to prioritise those you need to contact first based on your aims and objectives.

In the Resources side panel, you'll find a template for a club partnership agreement.
