Influencing↗
At Dacorum Sports Network, we aim to influence the provision of facilities and support for sport within our borough through one to one and group meetings with council officers, councillors and representatives of regional and national sporting organisations.
Facilitating ↗
We don’t have the immediate answer to your need for funding or for improved facilities but we can help to point you in the right direction and provide advice on how to make things happen!
Sharing ↗
We share information on regional and national initiatives that can grow participation in sport and help you to access the funding or support that your club needs. Come to our open meetings to find out how other clubs are dealing with the challenges.
