Report: Enabling community use of school sports facilities in London

The London Assembly Health Committee has published a report following its rapporteurship on enabling community use of school 
sports facilities in London.

Key recommendations in the report include:

• The Government should provide sustained funding to help schools open their sports facilities for community use over the long term.  
• The Mayor should reinstate funding for schools through programmes such as Go! London, with flexibility to cover both capital improvements and running costs.
• The GLA should improve information on available facilities, including pricing and booking details, to help community groups find and access spaces more easily.
• Boroughs should develop partnerships between schools and community groups to expand access and share best practice.
