We will also work to:
• Reduce the number of inactive
people in the places and
projects we invest in
• Increase the enjoyment felt by
children and young people getting
active, so they have a more positive
attitude to sport and physical activity
• Increase the number and diversity
of volunteers
• Create the world’s best sports
talent system, producing higher
quality athletes with more diversity
in the talent pool.
DEVELOP A MORE PRODUCTIVE, SUSTAINABLE
AND RESPONSIBLE SPORT SECTOR
• Enhance leadership and
governance across the sector
• Build the evidence of the power
of sport and physical activity to
enhance lives and improve outcomes
for individuals and communities
• Increase the effectiveness and
efficiency of the sport and physical
activity sector, so that it works for
a wide range of consumers
• Ensure appropriate safeguarding
standards are in place
• Work with the sector to improve
the spaces and places where
people choose to be active,
how connected they are and
the distances between them.
These priorities will guide how
we invest our resources – both
people and financial. We have
examined all the evidence that
exists in relation to each priority,
and identified specific tactics for
how we will achieve each one.
Together, these create a clear
organisational framework for
our decision-making, with the
consumer placed at the heart
of everything we do.
