One voice, one vision
Article Abstract:
The UK leisure industry must adopt a unified approach if it is to achieve greater recognition, according to speakers at a recent conference organised by Business In Sport and Leisure. At present, lack of unity within the industry means that it can easily be ignored by the government. However, it is becoming clear that the government increasingly recognises the vital importance of leisure in people's lives.

The capital-intensive public sector leisure services industry is seeking new sources of finance as council funding becomes less readily available. One source is the National Lottery's Lottery Sports Fund which has contributed 959 million pounds sterling to some 3,000 projects since 1994. Other alternatives include commercial sector capital, charitable status and the Private Finance Initiative.

Service culture
Article Abstract:
The UK's Local Government Act 1999 requires local councils to assess their past and future performance and to introduce an audit and inspection program. Priorities must be assessed and a Performance Management Framework must be used to address Best Value. The similarities between a Best Value Service Review and a Cultural Strategy make it possible for them to be coordinated.
