Leaders from the sport and physical activity sector have warned UK Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer against neglecting funding for their industry. They argue that inadequate government support in the upcoming Spending Review could lead to the decline or closure of facilities, affecting physical and mental health, exacerbating health inequalities, and reducing productivity. The letter emphasizes the sector's potential for generating substantial social and economic value. Prominent organizations including the Youth Sport Trust and Ukactive have united in this call, highlighting the importance of accessible physical activity for all demographics, including children and those with disabilities.
Failure to do this will risk a reduction in physical activity levels, a negative impact on physical and mental health, greater health inequalities and lower productivity.
As a lover of sport and physical activity, we know you understand its unique power to unite the country, to make people healthier and happier, and positively shape and transform lives.
