Asked by: Stephanie Peacock (Labour - Barnsley East)
Question to the Department for Digital, Culture, Media & Sport:
To ask the Secretary of State for Culture, Media and Sport, whether her Department has had discussions with representatives from professional boxing organisations on investing in grassroots boxing.
Answered by Stuart Andrew - Parliamentary Under Secretary of State (Department for Culture, Media and Sport)
Supporting grassroots sport is a key Government priority and we are committed to ensuring everyone has the opportunity to be able to play sport and be active. Our new strategy ‘Get Active’ sets out our unapologetic ambition to build a more active nation, with a target to get 3.5 million more people classed as ‘active’ by 2030.
We provide the majority of support for grassroots sport through our Arm’s Length Body, Sport England, which receives £323m in Exchequer and Lottery funding each year. Since 2020, Sport England has provided over £11.9m of investment into projects which facilitate participation in boxing. This includes £6.3m of system partner funding which has been provided to England Boxing to grow and develop boxing across the country between 2022 and 2027. England boxing has a team of club support officers based around the country who provide guidance to grassroots clubs looking to secure funding for new projects.
In addition to this UKSport have invested just over £12m in Team GB amateur boxers during the Paris investment Cycle.
