A guide to involving and consulting communities in community asset based projects
This guide highlights the benefits of community ownership of sports and leisure assets. It shows how councils can support local ownership to ensure these facilities meet community needs while addressing wider priorities. Examples like Leeds Urban Bike Park and Bristol’s Jubilee Swimming Pool demonstrate how community-led projects can protect services, increase participation, and attract investment. Community ownership improves local engagement and resilience, providing long-term social and economic value.
This guide is for local authorities and local community organisations looking to bring sports and leisure facilities into community ownership.
