Protecting Playing Fields

We're investing £28 million into our Protecting Playing Fields fund to ensure that these vital resources are not lost.

Round 6 of the fund is now open until 24 March 2014.

Primary Spaces

School facilities are vital to ensure that children get the best possible sporting experience which is why we're investing £18m of National Lottery funding to help improve primary facilities.

Floods can have a devastating affect on sports clubs, causing significant damage to both facilities and playing surfaces.

We have produced guidance to help clubs prepare for, and cope with, flooding.
