Our Partners

Following an in-depth review, the trustees stated in their annual report (Aug 2012) that the charity’s activities should now be increased as valuable development opportunities were being missed. This led to the appointment of a Project Manager who has successfully forged more even new partnerships, increasing activity which is being managed on a temporary basis, using makeshift facilities and rapidly increasing both quality of activity and participant numbers.

The Shaw Lane Foundation is a founder member of Barnsley Sports and Active Lifestyles Partnership (BSALP), within which it has forged partnerships with many community organisations. BSALP is a multi-agency organisation which encourages partnership working between bodies such as South Yorkshire Sport, Barnsley Metropolitan Borough Council and Third Sector Organisations such as NHS, MENCAP, PSS Health Trainers, Healthy Bones and Active Barnsley as well as other local community providers. As such the provision of sport and active recreation opportunities fits with local area plans and all projects for change are unanimously backed by all agencies involved.
