84% of clubs see no opportunity from Olympics - Sports Club Survey 2011 news article image

Every two years the Alliance carries out research into the health of our community sports clubs to understand facility usage, changes in membership levels, club finances and upcoming challenges and opportunities. These findings then feed into our policy priorities and provide much needed evidence for our work.

The full report will be released soon but we thought you might be interested in the following fact.

Eight four percent of clubs don’t see the 2012 Olympic and Paralympic Games as an opportunity. 

You can read more on the Telegraph's website.

This research was commissioned by the Sport and Recreation Alliance and conducted independently by Sportswise. 1,942 responses were received from over 40 sports. The data was weighted to be representative of the total sports club universe.

If you have any questions about the report please contact Syann Cox on 020 7976 3922 or policy@sportandrecreation.org.uk
