<p>We want to ensure that all children, regardless of background, ability or where
they live, are able to engage in sport and physical activity in a way that interests
and benefits them. Through the Government's sports strategy Sporting Future, published
in December 2015, Sport England will now invest in sporting provision for children
aged five and over - previously the starting age was 14 years old.</p><p> </p><p>In
addition, Sport England's new strategy, Towards an Active Nation, published in May
2016, sets out their plans to make a major new investment of £40 million into projects
which offer new opportunities for families with children to get active and play sport
together. Sport England will continue to work with organisations across the sport
sector as it implements its strategy.</p>
