The aim of the Children & Young People Investment Fund is to make it easier for young people to get active – and stay active. The projects provide opportunities to take part regularly in sport and activity through the creation of enjoyable, appealing and convenient opportunities for young people that are based around their needs. The clubs have helped thousands of young people get active and our support to the programme will continue under Sport England’s strategy ‘Uniting the movement’.
