Sport
We want everyone to enjoy inclusive, safe and accessible high quality sports opportunities at every level, formal and informal, and easy progression for talent to flourish.
To do this we will:
-
Support grassroots sport and community organisations, especially those who want to become more diverse, inclusive and tackle inactivity within their communities.
-
Support a well-connected and well-informed sport and physical activity sector.
-
Influence the future of public sport and leisure services, placing health inequalities at the heart of new revised models.
-
Support the development of targeted initiatives using sport to achieve wider wellbeing, social and educational outcomes.
