answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 11/09/2023 answer text <p>Decisions on the allocation of funds under the Multi-Sport Grassroots Facilities Programme are devolved to relevant sporting bodies in respective parts of the UK, as they have appropriate expertise and understanding of local provision. Sport Scotland provides advice and guidance alongside the Scottish FA through the project selection process. Details on the Scottish FA’s approach are published <a href="https://www.scottishfa.co.uk/football-development/scottish-fa-grassroots-pitch-facilities-fund/" target="_blank">here</a>.</p><p>However, multi-sport benefit is a key pillar of the grassroots facilities programme and we stipulate that at least 40% of projects must benefit at least one other sport in addition to football, on a sustained and regular basis. There is no requirement for particular sports to be prioritised as part of this objective, and multi-sport plans are led by local need.</p><p>Projects are selected for a variety of reasons - some for their ability to deliver improved facilities in deprived areas, others may support multi-sport use, and/or increase participation among currently under-represented groups — such as women and girls or disabled players.</p> answering member constituency Pudsey answering member printed Stuart Andrew question first answered 11/09/2023 16:12:51 answering member 4032 label Biography information for Stuart Andrew
