<p>Sport England does not allocate its budget on a geographical basis. It is investing
£1 billion in grassroots sport in England between 2012-2017. About half of this, £493
million, is being invested in national governing of bodies of sport which work in
all regions of England. Sport England also awards grants directly to sports clubs
and projects through a range of specific funds according to the strength of applications
received and evidence of local need. Sport England works proactively to identify areas
which require greater investment and links with local stakeholders to make this happen
wherever possible.</p><p>While it is not possible to identify a budget for a particular
area per se, it is possible to give the total value of National Lottery awards made
by Sport England directly to sports clubs, projects and local authorities in a given
area.</p><p>Since 2010, projects in Barnsley have been awarded £700,988 and, for South
Yorkshire, the figure is £8,755,741.</p><p> </p>
