The PE & Sport Adviser team at PfS, who are jointly funded by Youth Sport Trust and Sport England, will be hosting a BSF School Sports Facilities Clinic at LIW 2008, offering advice sessions on helping schools and local authorities to develop dual-use sports facilities and activity programmes, and how to deliver public benefit and widen community access to sport and leisure facilities in schools.
