The plan sets out a range of actions to improve the support available to athletes, the sharing of best practice across the sport sector, and mental health education and training in sport.<\/del><\/p><p><del class=\"ministerial\">As highlighted in the plan, UK Sport has worked with key agencies to develop a Mental Health Strategy, being implemented during the Tokyo 2020 Olympic and Paralympic Games cycle (2017-2021).

It is vital we build on successes like the performance of England at the Women\u2019s Rugby World Cup in 2017 to inspire more girls and women to get involved in sport.<\/ins> <ins class=\"ministerial\">Sport England, government\u2019s arm\u2019s length body for community sport, is funding both the Rugby Football Union (RFU) and Rugby Football League (RFL) to build capacity and encourage participation. Both of these national governing bodies have also partnered with Sport England\u2019s \u201cThis Girl Can\u201d campaign, to encourage more women and girls to get involved with their sports. Government is also supporting the staging and legacy of the 2021 Rugby League World Cup, which will be hosted by England and will bring together the women\u2019s, men\u2019s and wheelchair tournaments for the first time. <\/ins><p> <\/p>"}

However, this data does not present an accurate comparison of the benefits from Big Lottery Fund spending for several reasons:<\/p><p>a) Funding is often provided over several years, but the data shows this in the year that the grant is awarded. For example an award of £600,000 for a five year long project, would be reported as £600,000 of funding in year one, and no funding in years two to five.<\/p><p>b) the data reflects the geographical location of the funding recipient, but many projects reach far beyond the local authority where the funding recipient is located. An extreme example of this is the City of London, which has a small population but which was the location of funding recipients running two large nationwide projects. Conversely, areas that show no funding in <ins class=\"ministerial\">2017-18<\/ins><del class=\"ministerial\">2016-17<\/del> have benefited from Big Lottery funded projects which have a primary location elsewhere.<\/p><p>c) Island communities can also be outliers.

National Governing Bodies of Sport (NGBs) are not public bodies, and as such are not subject to the Freedom of Information Act. NGBs are typically independent, self-appointed organisations that govern their sports through the common consent of their sport. Transparency is an important principal of good governance, and is reflected in our Code for Sport Governance, with which all bodies in receipt of UK Sport or Sport England funding must now demonstrate compliance. <\/ins><\/p><p><del class=\"ministerial\">The cross-Government sport strategy \u2018Sporting Future\u2019 set out our intention to encourage as many people and groups to enjoy sport as participants, spectators and in the workforce, including the LGBT community. It also includes a number of other actions to ensure that all under-represented groups can take part in sport and wider physical activity through a focus on local delivery, and working with people through volunteering, coaching and the sporting workforce. Our aim is to increase diversity among sporting organisations and help the sport sector to be more inclusive and welcoming to all.<\/del><\/p><p> <\/p><p><del class=\"ministerial\">Government continues to work with Sport England and National Governing Bodies of sport, alongside organisations including Pride Sports, Stonewall, and Kick it Out on a number of anti-homophobia initiatives aimed at encouraging inclusion. In March, Sport England commissioned Pride Sports to produce a second in depth report on barriers to LGBT participation. This research on volunteering, provision and attitudes and behaviours has been completed, and Sport England is currently considering what actions they will take based on the findings.<\/del><\/p><p> <\/p>"}
