Havant’s Sport & Physical Activity Alliance (SPAA) was established in 2006, to provide local, strategic alliances of partners with an interest in sport and/or physical activity.
Members of Havant’s SPAA are made up of organisations within Havant who have a direct interest in the physical outcomes of sport, as well as partners who are concerned with the wider benefits and outcomes that sport has to offer.
The SPAA group meets biannually. Meetings provide a good opportunity for organisations to work closely with other SPAA partners, providing time to share project ideas and good work practices.
