Here is a sample of PLC’s work both as summary case studies or copies of reports written for our clients.

Runnymede Borough Council

We have carried out around 50 strategy assignments for local authorities covering playing pitches, built sports facilities, open spaces and physical activity.   These form part of the evidence base to allow local councils to ensure there is a good supply of faciltiies to cover current and future needs.  They also have a key role in supporting funding bids and providing the basis for negotiations with developers.  An example of our recent work for Runnymede in Surrey can be found here on their website.

Research into Improving Participation by Black and Minority Ethnic Communities.

In 2004 Ploszajski Lynch Consulting carried out a major piece of research into sports participation by members of the Black and Minority Ethnic (BME) communities in the East of England. Jim Lynch wrote the final report which forms the guiding agenda of the BME Sports Network East who are currently implementing our recommendations.  This report is now quoted in a range of publications and academic papers including this one from Leeds Beckett University.

London 2012 Olympic Bid

PLC was commissioned to write the sports development framework for the five Olympic Boroughs of Greenwich, Hackney, Newham, Tower Hamlets and Waltham Forest. This report was designed to show the sporting benefit of the Games to the local communities. It formed part of the package of documents presented to the International Olympic Committee in the successful bid.
