Whole Sport Plan
Sport England funds national governing bodies to deliver their three outcomes - grow, sustain and excel and provides additional support to help them achieve this. Each sport has developed a Whole Sport Plan that explains how it plans to achieve these targets. This summary also helps partners identify possible opportunities to work together.
The Weighlifting Whole Sport Plan will be available soon.
Sport factsheets
In June 2008, Sport England published sport factsheets which highlight detailed results from Active People Survey 4 for each of Sport England's NGB 09-13 funded sports and include demographic breakdowns, regional breakdowns and frequency of participation data, providing insight into the profile of sports participants.
