Our work

We are responsible for grassroots sport in England.

Our strategy Towards an Active Nation sets out how we will work with national and local partners to ensure everyone in England can benefit from sport and physical activity.

Women Almost twice as many men take part in sport than women. We're working to narrow the gender gap.
Children and young people Our sport development work for young people is ambitious, innovative and is a significant part of our current strategy.
Why tackling inactivity matters Being physically active can help us lead healthier lives – and sport has an important role to play in improving wellbeing.
