We’re an arms-length body of government responsible for growing and developing grassroots sport and getting more people active across England.
We’re working to keep movement, sport and physical activity central to the lives of everyone through a combination of National Lottery funding and grant-in-aid from the Department for Culture, Media and Sport, which classifies us as a non-departmental government body. Around two-thirds of our funding comes from lottery players.
In 2018-19, we invested £260 million of National Lottery and Exchequer funding into projects and programmes that support people to be physically active, with 1,575 individual awards ranging from £300 to £18 million.
We’re determined to tackle this and unlock the advantages of sport and physical activity for everyone.
This isn’t just about our long-standing purpose of helping more people to enjoy playing sport and being physically active. We believe that by removing existing barriers to sport and activity, we can be part of a bigger picture of work that helps to address many of society’s biggest challenges.
Uniting the Movement is our 10-year strategy for 2021-31 aiming to do just that.
Together, we can change lives for the better in every home, and in every community, right across the country.
