London Sport Announces Partnership With Oaks Consultancy

London Sport – the non-profit agency working to improve Londoner’s lives by increasing levels of physical activity and sport – has announced an income generation partnership with Oaks Consultancy to focus on securing new income for the charity and its partners.

Following a tender process, Oaks were chosen by London Sport as their first dedicated fundraising agency. Over the next two years, Oaks will work closely with the charity to help maximise their income generation potential and ultimately assist in securing new and diverse funding in support of its future ambitions.

London Sport are committed to making the Capital the world’s most active city and we are thrilled to be playing our part in helping them achieve their mission. This ambition, paired with their infectious passion and impeccable track record, makes for a truly compelling commercial proposition”

Tove Okunniwa, Chief Executive at London Sport said: “We are pleased to announce this exciting new partnership with Oaks and look forward to working with their team of experts as we look to accelerate our income diversification efforts in the coming months. This is an enormously exciting time for grassroots physical activity and sport in London, and I am confident that this partnership will help London Sport to extend the impact of our work in the years to come.”
