Creating

opportunities
in
every
community
Book your place on an Inspired Facililties workshop
On 18 July we will be launching Inspired Facilities - a key part of the Places People Play programme which will deliver a mass participation sporting legacy from the London 2012 Olympic and Paralympic Games.
Through Inspired Facilities we will invest National Lottery funding in up to 1,000 community sports clubs. In advance of the launch, we’d like to give you the chance to sign up for a workshop where you will be able to learn more about the programme.
The Inspired Facilities programme will focus on upgrading and modernising sports clubs
Inspired
Facilities
will
provide
relatively
small
capital
grants
to
refurbish
and
improve
the
places
where
people
play
sport,
improving
their
sporting
experience
and
encouraging
more
people
to
get
involved.
We
will
be
running
workshops
in
eleven
locations
across
the
country
and
there
will
be
three
two-hour
sessions
per
day,
each
one
targeting
a
specific
audience:
10:30am - local authorities, education establishments, parish and town councils
2.30pm - Regional/local national governing body staff and county sports partnerships
7pm - Community and voluntary groups and sport clubs.
To
allow
as
many
clubs
to
benefit
from
this
session
we
would
prefer
if
only
one
representative
could
attend
from
each
organisation.
Spaces
will
be
allocated
on a
first
come,
first
served
basis
so
please
register
early
to
ensure
you
can
attend.
