• Represent Lincolnshire’s interests at major national or Regional conferences and one-off meetings, summits, seminars and the like to give a voice for sport in the county.

• To undertake, research and develop individual projects and initiatives wherever circumstances require a co-ordinated approach from the membership.

• To promote sport (as defined by Sport England and as supported though company membership process) across the county in all its forms, in particular acting as a one-stop enquiry hub for members of the public providing either the answers, or direction to information and contacts.
