Successful projects 2022/23
£68 million has been committed in 2022 to 2023 to a range of projects that aim to deliver improved facilities in deprived areas, support multi-sport use and increase participation among currently under-represented groups — this focuses primarily on women and girls, disabled players and those in deprived areas.
Please note that the project lists below are provided by DCMS’s delivery partners, and the information may change as the projects develop. For example, a project may withdraw from the programme, or rolling investment might mean further projects are added in future. The spreadsheets will be updated where needed to reflect these changes.

The spreadsheet previously uploaded on 20 May detailing recipients of government grassroots multi-sport funding in England for 2022/23 contained some factual inaccuracies. The spreadsheet included 53 small capital grant projects that had been withdrawn. In addition, some of the facilities listed in the spreadsheet and their respective postcodes were incorrectly aligned. An updated spreadsheet correcting these errors was uploaded on 2 June.
