Question to the Department for Digital, Culture, Media & Sport:

To ask the Secretary of State for Digital, Culture, Media and Sport, what financial support is being provided by her Department to (a) grassroots darts clubs and (b) disabled grassroots darts clubs.

Government's Sporting Future strategy is clear that we want more people to get active and to enjoy the many benefits that sport and physical activity bring.

Since 2010, Government has not made any specific investments in darts clubs. However, during this time Sport England has invested £3,594,300 in 68 projects which include darts as one of the activities it offers to the local community. This includes £267,595 invested in five multi-sports projects which include darts and have a specific focus on disability.
