The Sports Development Section is committed to developing and maintaining sporting opportunities for the whole community. We achieve this by working closely with The Sports Partnership Herefordshire & Worcestershire. The Sport Development Officer also works with The School Sports Partnership and local clubs to produce the Sport Unlimited Plan.
The Sports Development Officer is also supported by the Physical Activity Officer and a part time Community Sports Coach.
The Sport Unlimited Plan
The Sport Unlimited Plan aims to increase opportunities
for children and young people to participate in extra-curricular Sport and Physical Activity. The plan is written in partnership
with Wyre Forest's School Sports Partnership Development Manager and local clubs.
