  1. Embedding Commissioning for Sport & Leisure: the Community Sport Activation FundJoel Brookfield London CLOA Conference 6th November 2012

  2. The challenge Traditionally culture and sport have been seen by commissioners as co-funding partners or the deliverers of short term activity or projects. The challenge is to position culture and sport more strategically in the whole commissioning process. LGA: Engaging in Commissioning • Needs and evidence base • Clear priorities and outcomes • Translating local national local • Widening our range of delivery partners • LA no longer delivers? ‘accountability and co-ordination’ role?
