Sport England

Description:

Sport England invest in sport and physical activity to make it a normal part of life for everyone in England, regardless of who they are, with the aim of ensuring that there is always a level playing field.

Currently opportunities to get involved in sport and activity, and reap the rewards of being active, often depend too much on people’s background, gender, bank balance and postcode. Sport England's mission is to tackle this, in order to unlock the advantages of sport and physical activity for everyone.

It isn’t just about their long-standing purpose of helping more people to enjoy playing sport and being physically active. They believe that by removing existing barriers to sport and activity, they can be part of a bigger picture of work that helps to address many of society’s biggest challenges.

Sport and physical activity makes people happier and healthier, and movement is the lens through which they can make that happen. It does the same thing for communities, with life-changing, sustainable benefits that have huge economic and social value, which is why Sport England want sport and physical activity to be recognised as essential to help overcome these national challenges.

Sport England recognise the need to invest in sport and physical activity through national governing bodies, other sports bodies and local sports clubs, organisations and community groups to increase engagement for different groups as part of their core purpose.
