Sport England have advised that they are unable to detail Exchequer funding for sport-related groups in North West Cambridgeshire as these type of data are not collated on a constituency basis.
The Department for Culture, Media and Sport allocated Sport England over £480 million of Exchequer funding in the last five years, to invest in community sport both through national governing bodies and more specific local initiatives.
In addition, in 2009-10, the Department has allocated Sport England £135.7 million of Exchequer funding. Sport England has targets to get one million people doing more sport by 2012-13, and to make a major contribution to the delivery of the five hour sports offer for children and young people. North West Cambridgeshire will benefit, alongside every area of England, from Exchequer and lottery investment by Sport England in 2009-10 in support of these targets.
Although non-departmental funding, Sport England have advised that the following initiatives have received lottery funding to support participation in sport in North West Cambridgeshire in each of the last financial years.
Projects relating to ‘Living Sport’ are delivered through the County Sports Partnership, and as a result this funding will have been spent across all of Cambridgeshire.
