Tackling inactivity is at the heart of our Towards an Active Nation strategy.
Over our current strategy period, which runs until 2021, we’re increasing the amount we invest in helping inactive people become active.
We want 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.
Our approach
We're spend at least £265 million to tackle inactivity over this four-year strategy period - that includes for our Active Ageing fund, which has supported 20 projects across the country.
We already know 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 and our Towards an Active Nation strategy to give some further context.
