Sport is born from community activity, the act of people coming together to share a common interest. That is why London Sport support the London Mayor’s new Sport for All of Us strategy in its belief that sport, properly deployed, can be used a tool for community cohesion and social good.

This event will bring together local authority officers working in the world of community engagement/participation with those focused-on sport and physical activity.

Two parallel strands of presentations will then come together for practical discussion on your next steps and how London Sport can support.
