At the risk of being political there is a petition on the NUT website - http://www.teachers.org.uk/node/12207 to canvass opinion on the government's plan to scrap the School Sport Partnerships.
In the SOC area without the SSP there would have been none of the following (my comments I added to the petition):-
"Having worked locally with the SSP to introduce orienteering into schools over 2000 children (over the last 4 years) have benefitted from this in both curriculm teaching and after school clubs, which would not have happened if there was no SSP - headmasters and individual schools have not got the time to coordinate these types of sporting activities, including an annual orienteering festival for year 6 pupils which has over 700 participants over 2 days. I wonder if these statistics ever get brought in front of government decision makers."
Added to this is the mapping of approx. 60 schools to date, again would not have happened without the SSPs in Southampton, New Forest, Fareham, Havant and Waterlooville.
