About Us

Northumberland Sport works in partnership with a range of organisations. We aim to ensure the people of Northumberland can access and enjoy quality sporting and physical activity opportunities.

The Partnership includes a large number of statutory and non-statutory agencies and a broad network of stakeholders, all of whom contribute to our strategic direction and operational activities.

Vision

Northumberland Sport works collectively with its partners to realise a shared vision;

To develop and increase participation in sport, building healthy and successful communities

The Partnership delivers across the County, providing opportunities for young people to develop their sporting skills and realise their full potential. Although participation in sport is a worthwhile end in itself, the work of Northumberland Sport and its partners has a significant impact in helping to deliver key benefits in many associated areas, such as regeneration, social inclusion, crime reduction and health improvement.

Recognising Diversity

The Partnership works across the six districts of Alnwick, Berwick upon Tweed, Blyth Valley, Castle Morpeth, Tynedale and Wansbeck. Each district has its own unique and distinctive identity and communities. The County has a diverse mix of urban and very rural localities. Northumberland Sport recognises this diversity and works to ensure its programmes are not only accessible to all, but that any potential for inequality in sports provision is addressed.
