- Working for you
- Lobbying
The FSPA exists to promote the interests of our members in the sports and play trade. As Europe’s largest trade body, we have a strong lobbying arm and work closely with our European and world trade association counterparts on matters affecting the global sports and play industries.
We’re led by our members and, as a non-profit organisation, we are able to champion the causes which matter most to our businesses. As a member of the Federation of the European Sporting Goods Industry (FESI) and the Federation of the European Play Industry (FEPI), we represent the UK sports and play sectors in Brussels.
We can help to ensure that your voice is heard is at the highest levels of Government and we work to bring about the changes you need to ensure your sports or play business thrives.

What Our Members Say
It’s great to be part of an organisation that campaigns for investment in children’s play facilities and which raises the standards of the entire industry.
Michael Hoenigmann - Association of Play Industries
Having the support of the FSPA behind us is tremendously beneficial and greatly enhances the offering to our membership.
Kevin Marshall - Association of Professional Sales Agents
I have been a member of SPE for many years now and every member shows a 100% commitment to promote participation in sport and play in the UK.
Jason Bowers - Sports & Physical Education (PE) Association
The FSPA provides a cohesive voice far louder than any member company or association could achieve alone. It also creates extremely beneficial networking opportunities.
Neil Parker - British Golf Industry Association
It’s sometimes difficult to get heard when you stand on your own. But when you're part of a respected body like the FSPA, people listen and things start to happen.
Nigel Freemantle - British Golf Industry Association
The opportunity to meet with like-minded people across our sector to discuss some of the challenges is always invaluable.
Jason O'Malley - UK Golf Course Owners Association
A must for anyone in the industry who wants to develop themselves and their Club.
Delegate, Management Development Programme - Club Managers Association of Europe
Working with like-minded people who maintain very high standards is both inspiring and reassuring for my customers.
Mike Pomfret - British Association of Golf Course Constructors
The benefits in terms of cash savings alone more than outweigh the membership cost. The opportunities to exchange ideas with other operators are an enormous help too.
Carolyn Maxey - Play Providers Association
Working together as a group of companies creates a stronger voice for the play industry, which benefits both suppliers and customers.
