Asset transfer involves the transfer of the ownership of land or buildings from government organisations such as local authorities to community groups such as local sports clubs and trusts, often at a discounted price provided there is a benefit to the local community.
As many sporting assets such as playing pitches and clubhouses are currently owned by local authorities and other public sector bodies it is important for the future of community sport that Sport England is able to support both local authorities and sports clubs in the effective management of these assets.
With local authority budgets coming under pressure there is an increased appetite to explore asset transfer. This presents sports clubs and national governing bodies with opportunities to take ownership of their own facilities; it may also provide non-asset owning sports clubs with their first chance to take on a building.
