More university students are to be encouraged into playing more sport thanks to a new £10 million National Lottery funding round called Active Universities launched yesterday by Sport England.
According to Sport England, just under three in ten university students currently play sport regularly. Active Universities is a drive to get 100,000 more students participating at least three times a week by creating accessible sporting opportunities for the 72% who say they would like to do more sport.
The Active Universities fund is the third of Sport England’s competitive themed rounds aimed at addressing challenges to grassroots sport and opportunities to increase participation.  Sport England is calling for innovative applications from universities and others that will tackle the barriers to student participation.
