National Governing Bodies (NGBs)

National Governing Bodies (NGBs) are essentially infrastructure organisations for community sport. They exist to organise, regulate, and encourage more people into their sport or activity.  There is great variation in the size and capacity of NGBs, ranging from organisations such as the Football Association, British Cycling, to England Volleyball.
