Written question asked by Dan Norris (Independent (affiliation)) on Monday, 13 July 2026, in the House of Commons. It was due for an answer on Wednesday, 15 July 2026. It was answered by Stephanie Peacock (Labour) on Friday, 17 July 2026 on behalf of the Department for Culture, Media and Sport.


Sports: Finance

Question

To ask the Secretary of State for Culture, Media and Sport, how much funding Sports England has provided to Development Sports; and what estimate has been made of how many people will use this programme.

Answer

The Sport for Development Coalition received Sport England National Lottery funding between March 2022 and December 2025 totalling £773,334.

Rather than delivering programmes itself, the Coalition acts as the collective voice for the sport-for-development sector. As a result, it is not possible to quantify direct programme participation or user numbers attributable to the Coalition itself.
