Sport England and System Partners (including London Sport) commissioned this report by Sheffield Hallam University to collate the insight and learning around cost of living and its impact on sport and physical activity. It considers the following themes: sport economy, participation, clubs, facilities, workforce. Cost of living has had an impact on participation levels, and there are a number of challenges for example around retention of both paid and volunteer workforce. This report recommends alignment with the ‘Uniting The Movement’ strategy which focuses on those with the greatest need to develop and maintain robust habits around their participation.
