Sports: Public Participation

Question

What funding her Department is providing to help increase levels of participation in grassroots sport.

Answer

The Government believes in the power of grassroots sport. Everyone should have access to quality sport and physical activity opportunities.

Sport England invests in over 90 place partnerships to promote sport and physical activity opportunities in the communities that need it most.
