| Network Name |
Newham Athletics Network |
| |
Newham Network was a pilot network with fewer number of clubs than most other network, this was for various reasons including:
1. To help with transition from ‘Beacon Clubs’ funding
2. To ensure that we had many different network model, so we could learn for future rounds.
As part of award condition for year two Newham network was challenged to engage more clubs and be much more club focused, developing from the excellent work in year one. |
