Written Question
Levelling Up Fund: Sports
Monday 24th January 2022

Asked by: Tom Hunt (Conservative - Ipswich)

Question to the Ministry of Housing, Communities and Local Government:

To ask the Secretary of State for Levelling Up, Housing and Communities, what assessment he has made of the potential merits of using the Levelling Up Fund to support grassroots sport.

Answered by Lord Gove

Culture and heritage is one of three investment themes for round one of the Levelling Up Fund. Under this investment theme, places were given the opportunity to come forwards with proposals including around creating new cultural and creative spaces such as sports or athletics facilities.

The first round of the Levelling Up Fund awarded funding to multiple projects which will support grassroots sport in local communities, including the creation of a new community sports hub in Newcastle upon Tyne. The next round of the Fund, opening in spring 2022, will provide further funding opportunities.
