Chief executive, Sport England

Hello and welcome to the Sport England website.

You may still be getting used to finding your way around our new-look site – we know it looks quite different to what we had before.

But the changes we’ve made are so much more than making it look better, important though that is.

We know you’ll come to us and our website for lots of different reasons – it might be to see what funding we can offer you, but we also, for example, have a vast amount of research and expertise you can tap into.

So we’ve spent time making sure you can see all of that online in as clear and helpful a way as possible.

Finding your way around

Our ‘know your audience’ section sets out what we, and others, know about how different people get active and the barriers that exist, with a huge amount of rich research that you can look through.

And ‘how we can help’ has lots of information that can help you today, be that guidance about facilities and planning, information on our open funds, the support we offer clubs, and so much more.

There is also, of course, lots of information about some of our existing work, partnerships and campaigns in the ‘campaigns and our work’ section, and ‘why we’re here’ explains our mission, and the work we’re doing to build a more active nation.

I hope you’ll find the changes we’ve made positive – please do get in touch if you have any comments – and I look forward in future blogs to sharing more about the work we’re doing and the difference we’re making to people’s lives.
