Sport England has increased our investment in the
Government’s PE and Sport Strategy for Young People to £23 million
a year (that’s up by over £14 million).
This aims to give young people in England access to at
least five hours of PE and sport a week.
Together with our partners at the Youth Sport Trust (YST), we
have mapped out clear roles and responsibilities.
YST
takes responsibility for school
sport, while Sport England leads on community and club sport.
We have a range of programmes including:
Sport Unlimited
