Creating a Games Legacy - South West Sports Leaders

This project will provide opportunities for all Sports Leaders in each of the counties in the South West of England to engage with and support community activities, county-wide events, holiday activities, evening sports and activity sessions. It will present a positive platform for all Sports Leaders to get recognition and be inspired that they are contributing to a 2012 sporting legacy in the South West.
