The Local Sport Profile tool has been developed to help local authorities in England to generate a sporting profile for their area in the form of charts and tables to illustrate sporting participation and provision. This data is fundamental to local authorities and other partners involved in developing and delivering sporting opportunities in their communities. 'Small area estimate' maps of participation have also recently been published which show how sports participation may vary within a local authority area. Three new case studies have been added to Sport England's market segmentation tool, highlighting how the data has been used in practical ways to help develop marketing strategies and to increase participaion.
