A brief background

Sport Unlimited is a national programme aiming to encourage 'semi-sporty' young people aged between 5-19 to become more active.

Sport Unlimited is an integral part of the Government's PE and Sport Strategy for Young People (often referred to as the 5-Hour Offer).  The Sport Unlimited element of the 5-Hour Offer will provide a range of attractive and sustainable opportunities in sporting activities for young people from the 'semi-sporty population segment' to take part in out of school hours during term time.

The national target is for 900,000 young people to be taking part regularly,  in 2 additional hours of sport by 2011.

In Hertfordshire 'Sport Unlimited is known as the 'Livewire Project'. 

It is being delivered through a plan led by the Herts Sports Partnership in conjunction with a range of local delivery organisations such as School Sports Partnerships, Local Authorities, Community Sports Networks and other partners.
