Multi-Sport Grassroots Facilities Programme projects: 2023 to 2024

Details of funding for multi-sport grassroots facilities projects in 2023 to 2024

Overview

The Multi-Sport Grassroots Facilities Programme is investing over £320 million between 2021 and 2025 to level up facilities across the whole of the UK. This programme provides funding to make essential facility improvements, so that communities have a high-quality pitch to play on, and is a clear demonstration of the government’s commitment to levelling up all corners of the United Kingdom.

Please note: project lists were updated in October 2024 to reflect revised project funding information from delivery partners. Maps will be updated shortly to reflect any relevant changes.
