The private sector is made up of organisations that aim to make a profit for themselves or other people.
These include private clubs providing facilities and services for the benefit of members.

Facilities in the private sector are usually state

The voluntary sector generally consists of local people and organisations that provide activities for the benefit of local people, and to meet a local need.
Often these people have common interests and ability levels, or have similar values regarding the sport or physical activity.
The voluntary sector plays a vital role in providing sporting opportunities for all age groups in a variety of sports.
These are non-profit organisations
