In this section you will find information on Cork Sports Partnership’s work to increase participation in Sport.

As a leading agency in the coordination of sport for people of all ages and abilities, Cork Sports Partnership works to support, develop & promote participation in sport through collaborative partnerships.

The focus of this work aligns to the core values of Cork Sports Partnership which are Partnership, Collaboration, Facilitation & Inclusion. These core values remain central to all Active Cork Sport projects with supports provided to enable opportunities, increase participation capacity and enhance sustainability of opportunities provided. This can include administrative support, opportunity creation, action planning, marketing and promotion, resources, subsidised training and education.

• Enable capacity building among partner organisations to improve participation structures in sport throughout Cork.
• Advocate on behalf of people with a disability and marginalised groups for improved participation opportunities in each sport Cork Sports Partnership is working with.
