Sport Partnerships

Sport Partnerships for the Borough are co-ordinated by the Partnerships and Development Officer. The aim is:-

• to identify and promote sport development initiatives and opportunities and where possible to support local sports clubs and organisations. Information on local clubs can be accessed quickly and easily through our new Sports Club Directory
• to promote the "Fareham Sports Development Award - the Toon Cup which is awarded annually to recognise significant achievements by a local club in the promotion and development of their respective sport for young people within the Borough.
• to provide support for sport within local schools, encouraging the development of extra curricular opportunities and the development of school-club links.
• to encourage participation in national sports development initiatives such as Active Sports, Hampshire Youth Games, Parallel Youth Games and the Hants and Isle of Wight Games.
• to work in partnership with external organisations to encourage greater participation in sport, such as the Round the Harbours Sponsored Family Bike Ride.
