Salary and spending transparency

The Treasury has launched a transparency initiative to open all data held by all central government departments, agencies and non-departmental public bodies, but not public corporations.

Spending

As part of the initiative, we publish details of any spending – payments to a third party – of more than £25,000.

Below, you can download all of our non-grant expenditure and Exchequer expenditure of more than £25,000, as well as information on our payment performance.

Should you require data from months prior to January 2020, please email feedback@sportengland.org.

Salaries

We also publish the salaries of our Executive Leadership Team, as well as the pay band structure for all our staff.
