GLL launches legacy strategy
Leisure trust GLL has released its GLL Inspired legacy strategy, designed to deliver real community growth in sport and physical activity.
Two years in the planning, the strategy includes an outline of the challenges GLL will face in order to achieve measurable outputs for future years.
The strategy provides detailed activity and outputs for 30 core legacy and 17 Games-time and Olympic Park commitments across sporting, community, economic and environmental themes.
It also includes details on the further development of the GLL Sport Foundation, which already supports more than 1,000 young athletes across the region with funding and training grants.
According to GLL director Peter Bundey, the strategy is an "important statement" and shows how current legacy agendas need to move from sport governance and school specific funding into the broad world of community activity provision.
"At GLL we have been consistent in our vision that we would actively contribute to help make the Games the best ever and commit to deliver multiple and transparent legacy programmes.
"GLL Inspired' captures this commitment and lays out how we will achieve this vision."
GLL is one of the largest providers of public sport and leisure facilities in the UK - it operates more than 100 venues with a target for 2012 of 38,000,000 visits. To read more, click here.
