Oxfordshire Sports Partnership host an evening with sported.

Membership is well and truly up and running in Oxfordshire following a very successful membership event hosted by Oxfordshire Sports Partnership. 12 different organisations attended the event where they met with Paul Napthine, South East Regional Manager and Jo Stocks, Director of sported.

Potential Members were able to hear about sported. and the criteria for membership as well as meeting other groups in Oxfordshire who use sport to support young people overcome challenges. It is expected a number of these groups will access the next round of small grant funding from sported. as well as the support of the Mentor team.

This highlights the importance of partnership working to sported. in the South East. Without the support of Oxfordshire Sports Partnership this event would not have been possible. Support such as this allows sported. to deliver services to more groups and ultimately help the development of our young people through sport.

Paul Napthine said "It was a great evening, it was non stop. It was very exciting for us to meet new groups in Oxfordshire and a huge thank you must got to the team at Oxfordshire Sports Partnership for organising, hosting and taking bookings for the event."

If other partners are interested in running a similar event in their part of the South East please get in touch with Paul Napthine 0n 07900 928514 or p.napthine@sported.org.uk.
