We're going to be investing nearly £88 million of National Lottery and Government funding in 26 national governing bodies of sport (NGB) in addition to opening two separate open funding programmes.

The investments and work will come into force in April 2017 and follows detailed discussions with each governing body about what contribution they can make to our new strategy.

New funding deals

Every investment we make follows a new customer-led approach, where the needs and wants of the player, athlete or participant come first.

Around one third of people (14.9 million) are currently in sport's 'core market' – the people who have a strong affinity with sport, including talented athletes trying to reach the top.

We want to continue to support them and help grow the market by reducing drop out.
