New sport strategy (2023)
Please note: the new government sport strategy was published in
August 2023.
Read the new strategy: Get Active: a strategy for
the future of sport and physical activity
This cross-government strategy will tackle head on the flatlining
levels of sport participation and high levels of inactivity in
this country. Through this strategy, government is redefining
what success in sport means, with a new focus on five key
outcomes: physical wellbeing, mental wellbeing, individual
development, social and community development and economic
development. In future, funding decisions will be made on the
basis of the outcomes that sport and physical activity can
deliver.
It is government’s ambition that all relevant departments work
closer together to create a more physically active nation, where
our children and young people enjoy the best sporting
opportunities available and people of all ages and backgrounds
can enjoy the many benefits that sport and physical activity
bring, at every stage in their lives.
Government is reaffirming its commitment to Olympic and
Paralympic success but also extending that ambition to
non-Olympic sports where we will support success through
grassroots investment in those sports, and by sharing UK Sport’s
knowledge and expertise. The strategy outlines what we expect of
the sector to deliver this vision, and how we will support it in
getting there.
