Sport England has revealed the sports projects that will benefit from a £10 million National Lottery fund to get more people playing sport in rural communities.

The Rural Communities fund is the first of our themed rounds aimed at addressing some of the biggest challenges to grassroots participation. In rural areas, we know the barriers include reduced choice in the sports available, higher delivery costs and transportation issues.

The successful bids were announced by our Chair, Richard Lewis, at Whitlingham Outdoor Education Centre in Norfolk, where dozens of people from across the county were taking part in a village games competition involving archery, cycling, canoeing and tug of war.
