| Abstract: | The voluntary sector plays an important role in the sports industry, as a provider of sporting opportunities and in the development of sport. However, research on its contribution to sport-related economic activity is limited. The research presented in this article examines the economic importance of the voluntary sector, using a case study of Sheffield, U.K. The article suggests that in the light of the findings and the increasing use of sport in urban policy, there is a need to rethink the methodology used to evaluate the economic contribution of the voluntary sector in the future. |
