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

To ask His Majesty's Government what assistance is available for the repair and maintenance of buildings essential for voluntary activities.

Through our Pride in Place Programme, we have invested £5.8bn in 284 communities over the next decade. In each of these places, local people will come together to come up with a plan for the future of their place, backed up with £20m funding. They could choose to invest in the repair and maintenance of community spaces for people to come together, or in the creation of new spaces.

In addition, the National Youth Strategy launched in December '25 committed £350m of new money to build or refurbish youth facilities over the current SR period. £85 million will be delivered in 2026/27 through the Multi-Sport Grassroots Facilities Programme which provides funding for building new and upgrading existing pitches, changing rooms and clubhouses.
