In January 2016, Yorkshire Sport Foundation and Doncaster Council partnered to deliver a whole systems review of physical activity and sport in Doncaster. This new way of working included:
- YSF staff embedding within a local authority,
- co-commissioning of specialist support, and
- developing joint plans to engage wider partners to tackle inactivity in Doncaster.
This has resulted in Doncaster positioning physical activity and sport as one of nine priorities in the Borough Strategy; in turn accelerating the ambitions of Doncaster’s new 10-year Physical Activity and Sports Strategy, Get Doncaster Moving.
The attached file provides a summary of the partnership journey, and will be displayed as a poster presentation at the Yorkshire and Humber Public Health Sector Led Improvement (www.yhphnetwork.co.uk).
