The Sport for Development Coalition received Sport England National Lottery funding between March 2022 and December 2025 totalling £773,334.
Rather than delivering programmes itself, the Coalition acts as the collective voice for the sport-for-development sector. As a result, it is not possible to quantify direct programme participation or user numbers attributable to the Coalition itself.
