WASP (Wiltshire & Swindon Sport)

Wiltshire and Swindon Sport (WASP) is one of 44 County Sports Partnerships established in 2000 by Sport England to support the achievement of its Sports Strategy. The Partnerships have continued to evolve and are now a well-established part of the sporting landscape in England playing a key role in increasing the number of people taking part in sport and physical activity. In 2012 WASP became a Community Interest Company (CIC) having previously been hosted by local government and established a new Board of Directors who are responsible for overseeing the strategic direction of the company.

The principle aim of WASP is to deliver services which benefit the community and in particular to promote and support sport and physical activity to the residents of Wiltshire and Swindon by; coordinating and providing a range of services, activities and information relevant to the development of sport and physical activity. The aims of WASP can only be achieved through working with national and local partners who share similar objectives. Building and maintaining these partnerships are key to the success of this strategy.
