Multi-Sport Grassroots Facilities Programme projects: 2024 to 2025

Details of funding for multi-sport grassroots facilities projects in 2024 to 2025

Overview

The Multi-Sport Grassroots Facilities Programme is investing £123 million in 2024/25 to support facilities across the whole of the UK.

This programme provides funding to make essential facility improvements, so that communities have high-quality pitches to play on, building on investment from previous years. This is a clear demonstration of the government’s commitment to providing people across the United Kingdom with opportunities to get active.

Successful projects 2024 to 2025

£123 million has been committed in the financial year 2024 to 2025, 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. Increasing participation in under-represented groups 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.
