Sports: Finance
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Culture, Media and Sport, how much funding Sports England has provided to Development Sports; and what estimate has been made of how many people will use this programme.
Answered by Stephanie Peacock
The Sport for Development Coalition received Sport England National Lottery funding between March 2022 and December 2025 totalling £773,334.
Rather than delivering programmes itself, the Coalition acts as the collective voice for the sport-for-development sector. As a result, it is not possible to quantify direct programme participation or user numbers attributable to the Coalition itself.
