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:
