Foreword from

Rory Underwood - Chair of the Leicester Sports Partnership Trust Board

I am delighted to introduce the trust and the two-year action plan which will drive it forward. The trust was formed as a partnership to develop high quality inclusive opportunities for the people of Leicester, enabling them to achieve their potential through sport and physical activity. Its guiding principles are to improve health and wellbeing and to raise educational attainment. The board is made up of thirteen trustees with representation from Leicester’s four professional sports clubs, Leicester City Council, the Primary Care Trust, and the commercial sector. The trust will also be engaging with partners in the community and education sectors. Its status as a
charity enables it to access additional external funding to deliver sport and physical activity initiatives as outlined in its action plan.

The aim of the action plan is to create a lasting legacy from the London 2012 Olympic and Paralympic Games. In these difficult economic times, partners have looked to new ways of working together and sharing resources in order to deliver initiatives with far greater success than any one organisation working alone. Our goal is to embed sustainable sporting and physical activity opportunities in the city to benefit future generations. Delivered in greater partnership than ever before, these initiatives will make Leicester the most active city in the
country.

I would like to take this opportunity to thank all those partners that have helped us to produce this action plan and I look forward to working with them to deliver on the many initiativeswithin it for the benefit of the people of Leicester.
