A research library of key reports on the sports and physical activity sector from a variety of sources.
About This Report:
Social value now sits at the heart of strategic investment into sport and physical activity, and
rightly so. Every delivery and commissioning organisation should have a consistent, credible,
accurate and up to date understanding of what good looks like and how to deliver it locally,
accounting for different environments and opportunities.
The DataHub opens up relevant, sector-wide intelligence on these areas of growth for every
organisation. Working in collaboration with strategic partners around the DataHub means that
this potential is already being realised across every corner of the UK – there is a much clearer
line of sight between investment and impact. If physical activity is the vehicle for achieving so
many wider strategic objectives, then data is becoming the new fuel.
