Challenges and OpportunitiesWorking with Governing Bodies: To help deliver London objectives in Whole Sport Plans.

Working with Local Authorities and community groups: To help deliver sport plans; and plug gaps that won’t be filled by a focus on clubs.

Capitalising on the build-up to 2012: We need to identify and develop more events and other opportunities to maximise

the interest and excitement generated by the build-up to 2012. This is important:

i. if we are to demonstrate how 2012 can ‘add value’ and use the lessons learned to inform and shape the sporting legacy for hosting future major events; and

ii. to help build a credible case for funding beyond 2013.

We need a strategic approach to major events in London to maximise the opportunities for sporting benefits. Greater involvement of clubs.
