Sports: Facilities
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Culture, Media and Sport, what funding her Department is providing for the renovation of multi-use sports pitches.
Answered by Stephanie Peacock
The Government provides the majority of our funding for grassroots sport through our Arm’s Length Body, Sport England, which invests over £250 million in Exchequer and Lottery funding each year.
We also deliver funding to support multi-use sport pitches through the Multi-Sport Grassroots Facilities Programme. In March the Secretary of State for Culture, Media and Sport announced an additional £100 million would be invested through the programme. Our funding is delivered through the Football Foundation in England and further detail on funded projects will be published on gov.uk in due course.
Future funding for grassroots facilities beyond 2025/26 is subject to the ongoing Spending Review.
