New industry body wants reform

A new sport and physical activity industry body, called the National Sector Partners’ Group (NSPG), has called for radical reform to support the sector’s growth.

The NSPG is a partnership of seven existing organisations and the launch follows the publication of a report called Unlocking the potential, which sets out a vision for how to fully harness the sector and improve the physical, mental and social wellbeing of the nation.

The new group includes ukactive, Active Partnerships, CIMSPA, the Local Government Association, the Sport and Recreation Alliance, Sport for Development Coalition and Youth Sport Trust.

Among NSPG’s goals is to get the government to engage in a collaboration to deliver tax breaks.
