ABOUT THE COMMUNITY INVESTMENT FUND
In 2003, Sport England changed the way we allocated investment.
We replaced the 75 existing funding programmes with two investment streams - national and community. And, in the national stream, we dedicated £130 million to 30 key sports. There are 10 English priority sports, 10 UK/GB priority sports and 10 English development/world class sports.
As part of this prioritised investment, the national governing bodies of each of these 30 sports are working with Sport England to develop Whole Sport Plans.
Each governing body is now accountable for delivering the targets in its plans in order to receive - and continue receiving - funding.
"We have researched how other nations have streamlined their sporting infrastructures," explains Patrick Carter, chair of Sport England, "and are applying lessons learned to increase participation in England and become a successful sporting nation."
You can download a fact sheet, in PDF format, for 20 of the priority sports. Simply click on the relevant link below.
