uin	13636
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 22/02/2024 answer text <p>The Government is committed to levelling up access to community and grassroots sport - physical activity should be accessible to all, no matter a person’s background or location. As part of this commitment, the Government is delivering an historic level of direct investment to build or upgrade thousands of grassroots facilities across the UK.</p><p>Over £363 million has been invested through the Multi-Sport Grassroots Facilities Programme since 2019 to provide new and improved football and multi-sport grassroots facilities across the whole of the UK. Funding is delivered via The Football Foundation’s partnership with the English FA and Premier League. Details of projects that have received funding since 2021 <a href="https://www.gov.uk/government/collections/multi-sport-grassroots-facilities-programme-projects-2021-to-2025" target="_blank">can be found using the following link</a>, with further projects due to be announced later this year.</p><p>In England, the Football Foundation plans their investment pipeline based on Local Football Facility Plans, which have been developed in partnership with local authorities and will shortly be revised to take into account the current landscape and the needs of some other sports.</p><p>Sport England has also invested an additional £85 million into projects which facilitate participation in grassroots football. For a breakdown of the projects funded across this period, Sport England publishes an <a href="https://www.sportengland.org/about-us" target="_blank">updated register of grant awards </a>on a quarterly basis, with awards dating back to 2009 listed in full.</p><p>The Government is also working across departments and with external partners to highlight best practice and opportunities for inward investment into the domestic sport sector, including in women’s sport. This builds on public investment of over £600 million for school sport and PE over the next two years, with a focus on making it clear that girls have the same access as boys following the success of the Lionesses at EURO 2022 and the FIFA World Cup 2023.</p> answering member constituency Pudsey answering member printed Stuart Andrew question first answered 22/02/2024 16:20:48 answering member 4032 label Biography information for Stuart Andrew
