As funding for programmes is often time-limited, you need to think about how the benefits can be sustained beyond the lifetime of the funding, as this can influence activity and programme design. For example, some programmes set up exit routes from their activities to those run by local clubs and participating schools. Others develop the skills of young people through the Community or Junior Sports Leader Awards and the Step into Sport project so that they can help deliver future activities. Collecting evidence on the benefits of the programme can support applications for additional future funding.
