The Irish Sports Council (ISC) has recognised that the partnerships are an excellent mechanism for delivering recreational sport to local people.The key aims of the LSP are to increase participation in sport, and to ensure that local resources are used to best effect.

Some of the outcomes they seek are:

• Club development
• Volunteer training - including Code of Conduct/Basic Child Protection Courses
• Enhanced planning of sport at local level
• Local directories of sports bodies & facilities
• School, club, community and national governing body (NGB) links
• Increased levels of local participation, especially amongst specific target groups such as older people, girls & women, people with disabilities, unemployed people, and those who live in identified disadvantaged communities
