This has been an important year for Sport England in which they passed three key milestones:

  • a Triennial Review,
  • the Comprehensive Spending Review,
  • and finally the publication of the Government’s Sporting Future: A New Strategy for an Active Nation.

Over the last year;

  • they have established new appraisal and evaluation approaches, including the new Active Lives survey that will allow direct comparison between different projects and programmes
  • the Comprehensive Spending Review set out details of Sport England’s Exchequer funding up to 2020. No reduction was made in their Exchequer grant, which was an exceptionally good settlement and an important recognition at the highest level of the value of grassroots sport in England.
  • Set up a Flood Relief Fund
  • Launching Backing the Best, a scheme to help talented young athletes fulfil their potential
  • Built on the success of This Girl Can
  • and developed new ways of working strategically with local authorities
