Question to the HM Treasury:

To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer, what fiscal steps he is taking to support golf (a) courses and (b) clubs in Southport.

Sport England, receives £323m in Exchequer and Lottery funding each year.

Since 2019 Sport England have invested over £13.7m into projects which facilitate participation in golf. This includes £7.9m of system partner investment to England Golf to grow and develop the sport across the country between 2022 and 2027.

Sport England also provides support for grassroots sport through the newly established Movement Fund, which offers crowdfunding pledges, grants and resources to improve physical activity opportunities for the people and communities who need it the most.

On top of this Active Partnerships are a system partner of Sport England and work in collaboration with local partners to deliver physical activity and sport. Clubs in your constituency may wish to contact the Merseyside Sports Partnership in their capacity as the local Active Partnership for the area, as they may be able to signpost to further funding opportunities.
