Merry Christmas and Happy New Year

Thursday, 18 December 2008

Our Chair, Sue Campbell, CBE and Chief Executive, Steve Grainger, MBE reflect over the last year and send their best wishes to you for the festive period:

"The end of another year for the Youth Sport Trust and what a year!

We have seen some significant milestones achieved as we continue to build a world leading PE and school sport system. The infrastructure of School Sport Partnerships was strengthened in 2008. We extended our vision to meet the new target of providing five hours of sport per week and our Sports Colleges made great progress in using sport to improve pupils’ attainment in other subjects.

None of these achievements are possible without the tireless dedication of people now working in PE and school sport. As you enjoy the festive period, take time to pause and celebrate the great work being done to make a real difference to the lives of millions of young people across the country.

On behalf of everyone at the Youth Sport Trust, thank you for your efforts in 2008. We look forward to continuing our work with you in 2009."
