The report details the impact of Sport England's work against the commitments made in their 2022-25 Implementation Plan, which outlines how they'll deliver on Uniting the Movement.

Packaging up key outcomes from their varied work with the sport and physical activity sector, and beyond, the report is the first in what will be regular updates on how they're continuing to deliver their ambitious long-term strategy.

Some of the key stats highlighted in the report include:

• Record high physical activity levels – 1.02 million more active adults*.
• Decreasing inactivity levels – 535,500 fewer inactive adults*.
• Improving children's experience – 1.4% increase in children in Years 3-6 reporting three or more positive attitudes to sport and physical activity**.
• Return on investment – every £1 spent on sport and physical activity in England returns £3.91 of social and economic value.
• Progress against goals – at six months in, almost 90% of their system partners reported significant or some evidence of progress against their steps and goals.
• Activity integration – 10 of our 12 local delivery pilots have evidence of integrating physical activity into health pathways in their communities
• High-quality facilities – they've funded 250 more high-quality football and multi-sport pitches over the last quarter
• Tackling inequalities – 90% of the funding from their open funds that's gone to football or multi-sport projects has gone to engaging under-represented groups.
• Spurred into action – 42% of women aged 14-60 aware of the This Girl Can campaign report taking action as a result of it and 43% of those with a long-term health condition aware of We Are Undefeatable, report taking action as a result.
• Staying afloat – they've agreed to administer a £63m fund to help keep public swimming pools open.

Following these findings Sport England have identified their main three roles that they want to play in this movement which are:

• Building the movement
• Meeting people where they're at
• Being the change.

Which will hopefully lead to further improvements in physical activity in the population as the years go on.
