Sports Councils
The Sports Councils are Non-Departmental Public Bodies (NDPBs), and for Wales an Assembly-sponsored body (ASPB) which are semi-public bodies with financial support from, and senior appointments made by the government.
The Sports Councils are, at UK national and Home Country level, the major agencies for providing a co-ordinated leadership for the funding and for many aspects of sports development and strategies for sport and physical recreation. The chairman of each of the four Home Country Sports Councils is a member of UK Sport.
Voluntary Sector
Sport and physical recreation in the UK is co-ordinated by over 400 mainly voluntary bodies - over 250 of which are in membership of the CCPR. Many of these bodies are UK (British), although each Home Country usually has its own national governing or representative body for each sport as part of this UK structure.
