The Nation's Biggest Supporter
Welcome to the Value of Sport Monitor – building the evidence base for Sport
The benefits sport brings to individuals and communities may be obvious to many. In the competition for scarce resources, however, sport must face up to the challenge of justifying in more tangible ways why public money should be invested in it.
There is a growing body of evidence that sport can deliver benefits across a wide range of public policy agendas. What is missing is easy access to the most up to date research combined with ‘state of the evidence reviews’ of its strengths and weaknesses.
Through the Value of Sport Monitor, and working with a network of sports agencies and academics across the world, Sport England and UK Sport are aiming to provide the best evidence available in an informative and easy-to-use format that helps policy makers to make the case and practitioners to deliver what works best. The Monitor also provides a resource that will stimulate academic debate and assist in setting research agendas and priorities that address the gaps and current weaknesses in the evidence base.
