Tackling inactivity is at the heart of our work.
Over the previous strategy period, which rans until 2021, we increased the amount we invest in helping inactive people become active.
We wanted to work with new partners, as well as partners we’ve worked with before, to co-design innovative, different and experimental approaches that will make a significant difference to many more people’s lives.
We spent at least £265 million to tackle inactivity over that four-year strategy period - that included our Active Ageing fund, which supported 20 projects across the country.
We already knew that tackling inactivity is possible. We’re now attempting to bring about change at scale, working with an even wider range of partners.
Our investment guide explains our approach to tackling inactivity, and gives some general guidance to organisations considering applying for funding from us or seeking to work in partnership with us.
We also recommend reading the government's Sporting Future strategy.
We Are Undefeatable is a Sport England-funded campaign to support the 15 million people who live with one or more long-term health conditions in England.
Find out about the charities we're working with as part of the Richmond Group of Charities, to help people with long term health conditions get active.
How can we support people who are inactive to find their way into sport or physical activity? We've gone through a vast amount of research to help answer that question.
You can find out exactly how we'll look after your personal data, but rest assured we’ll only use it to make sure you receive our newsletter, to understand how you interact with our newsletter, and to provide administrative information about our newsletter.
