Mae ukactive wedi cyhoeddi\u2019r datganiad a thelerau canlynol mewn ymateb i\u2019r announcement<\/a> of new funding for grassroots facilities from DCMS.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Huw Edwards, CEO of ukactive, the UK\u2019s trade body for the physical activity sector, said: <\/b>\u201cWith this level of investment, the Government has a unique opportunity to help shift the dial on the nation\u2019s physical activity levels and significantly improve the nation\u2019s health, but it must ensure it is targeted in the right areas. \u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cIt must avoid repeating the mistakes made by previous governments and work with the sport and physical activity sector to channel funding into the facilities and programmes that are meeting consumer demand. \u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cOur figures show growing public demand for gyms, pools and leisure centres across the UK, so we look forward to seeing how this investment supports the growth of these facilities so even more people can benefit. \u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cInvestment in grassroots sport can support the sports stars of the future, but it has a much greater role in shaping the physical and mental health of the next generation and reducing the pressure on the NHS by preventing ill health.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are ready to work with the Government to co-design a strategy that sees our sector maximise this investment to drive economic growth and inspire people of all ages to get active.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
