Sport England have published a local breakdown of the annual social value of sport and physical activity, presenting the figures by region, active partnership and local authority.
In October 2024 they announced that the overall social value of community sport and physical activity across England was £107.2 billion in 2022/23.
That figure consisted of a ‘primary’ value placed on the wellbeing of adults, children and young people taking part and volunteering in sport and physical activity (£96.7bn), and a ‘secondary’ value that calculated the wider savings to the health and social care system a year (£10.5bn).
They’ve now broken down these numbers locally so individuals and organisations can discover the social value of taking part or volunteering in sport and physical activity where they live.
The local data, which you can download below, shows the regions in England with the greatest combined social value in 2022/23 were the South East (£18.3bn), London (£16.2bn) and the North West (£13.8bn).
Meanwhile, the breakdown of the numbers across England’s 43 active partnerships is headed by London (£16.2bn), Greater Manchester (£5.2bn) and West Yorkshire (£4.3bn).
The figures can also be viewed by individual local authority area, again organised by the nine regions in England – East, East Midlands, London, North East, North West, South East, South West, West Midlands, and Yorkshire and the Humber.
