Details of funding for multi-sport grassroots facilities projects in 2024 to 2025

Overview

The Multi-Sport Grassroots Facilities Programme is delivering funding between 2021 and 2026 to make essential facility improvements, so that communities have high-quality pitches to play on.

The Multi-Sport Grassroots Facilities Programme is investing £125 million in 2024/25 to support facilities across the whole of the UK.

This programme provides funding to make essential facility improvements, so that communities have high-quality pitches to play on, building on investment from previous years. This is a clear demonstration of the government’s commitment to providing people across the United Kingdom with opportunities to get active.

Please note: project lists and maps were updated in June 2025 to reflect revised project funding information from delivery partners.

Successful projects 2024 to 2025

£125 million has been committed in the financial year 2024 to 2025, 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. Increasing participation in under-represented groups 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.

England

In England, government funding is supporting 1540 projects through the Football Foundation. This is complemented by partner investment from the English FA and the Premier League. These locally led projects are helping to make the Local Football Football Facility Plans (https://footballfoundation.org.uk/local-plans) a reality, and to take us one step closer to delivering the pitches every community needs.

The list below shows the projects receiving funding in the financial year 2024 to 2025. This list is not exhaustive. As this is a rolling investment programme in England, further projects may receive funding as the year progresses.
