Sport England

The rhythm of sport

Do you consider football to be a winter sport? Ever wondered what impact the weather has on sport? Would you like to see if more people got active during London 2012? 

Take a look at the rhythm of sport throughout 2011/2012 with our new interactive infographic.

Helping more women play sport

We want to get more women playing sport so we've invested £1.8 million into a pilot in Bury.
This funding will make it easier for women in the area to play sport. Find out more about our work.

How far can you go?

It doesn't matter if you have an Olympic gold or if you just want to go for a kick about in the park, you can always challenge yourself to go further.

With the athletics World Championships just around the corner, Greg Rutherford is getting ready to find out how far he can go. 

What we do

Sport England is focused on helping people and communities across the country create a sporting habit for life.

We will invest over £1 billion of National Lottery and Exchequer funding between 2012 and 2017 in organisations and projects.

We also have a role protecting sports provision and must be formally consulted on any English planning applications that affect playing fields.
