Watford Borough Council recognise that local sports clubs, through the efforts of their huge voluntary workforce , play a crucial part in making people in Watford more physically active and healthy, this would not be possible without their efforts they put in – often over a lifetime – to not only help produce the champions and sporting role models of the future, but in raising the aspirations and life chances of our young people, and in making our communities a safer and better places to live and work. We continue to work hard to support them.

 

We estimate that there are at least 2,500 sports clubs in Hertfordshire and approximately 100,000 sports volunteers, which represents 12% of the adult population.
