The Big Lottery Fund’s School Sports Co-ordinator programme is to make available £9,244,990 to provide young people in England with greater opportunities to take part in out-school-hours sports activities.

The £9.2 million is the final tranche of the Fund’s £34 million School Sports Co-ordinators scheme, and will create 96 physical activity programmes across England.

The aim of the scheme is to motivate young people through physical exercise, improving their health and contributing to increased self-esteem, a greater skill range and an improved ability to work co-operatively with each other. It is designed in particular to benefit children in danger of exclusion from school, those who need encouragement to participate and young people with special needs.
