Sportivate

What is Sportivate?

Sportivate is a Sport England Lottery funded programme and is part of the wider Sport England 2012 legacy plan - Places People Play.  Sportivate will run from April 2011 through to March 2015 and a total of £32 million will be invested nationally over this period.

The aims of Sportivate are to:

  • Engage the "semi sporty" 14-25 year olds - those who may need a bit of encouragement to do more i.e. not heavily involved
  • Retain at least 300,000 14-25 year olds in regular sports activities for a period of at least 6 weeks, with at least 100,000 still active after 3 months of their particular programme coming to an end

As of October 2012 a total of £17,238 has been brought into the District to support 17 projects.
