Local Delivery Pilot learning
When Sport England launched the local delivery pilot (LDP) approach they stressed that there would be a strong emphasis on learning throughout the pilots.
Shared learning is an important way to help other locations share in the investment that has been made, during 2019 there were 4 webinars worth taking a look at and a series of workshops and reports.
