Multi-Sport Grassroots Facilities Programme projects: 2023 to 2024
Details of funding for multi-sport grassroots facilities projects in 2023 to 2024
Overview
The Multi-Sport Grassroots Facilities Programme is investing over £320 million between 2021 and 2025 to level up facilities across the whole of the UK. This programme provides funding to make essential facility improvements, so that communities have a high-quality pitch to play on, and is a clear demonstration of the government’s commitment to levelling up all corners of the United Kingdom.
Please note: project lists were updated in October 2024 to reflect revised project funding information from delivery partners. Maps will be updated shortly to reflect any relevant changes.
Successful projects 2023/24
£93 million has been committed in 2023 to 2024, to a range of projects that aim to deliver improved facilities in deprived areas, support multi-sport use and increase participation among currently under-represented groups — this focuses primarily on women and girls, disabled players and those in deprived areas.
Please note that the project lists below are provided by DCMS’s delivery partners, and the information may change as the projects develop. For example, a project may withdraw from the programme, or rolling investment might mean further projects are added in future. The spreadsheets will be updated where needed to reflect these changes.
