Sport England and UK Sport launch new £2m Major Events Engagement fund

Sport England and UK Sport have launched a new £2m Major Events Engagement fund which aims to help ensure a long term legacy from major international sporting events held in the UK.

The new fund will support sports governing bodies (NGB) who are hosting major international sporting events in England by investing in sports projects which will be delivered in the local community where the event is taking place.

It will build on the existing £27m of National Lottery funding that is invested into bidding for and staging major sporting events via UK Sport's Gold Event Series.

Funding will be made available to all NGB projects that are designed to increase participation by engaging with local communities when they are hosting major international sporting events in England.
