Major investment in sport announced!
Great to see over £900 million being pumped into UK sport – with £500m+ to bring world-class events like UEFA EURO 2028, the Tour de France, and the European Athletics Champs to our shores, and £400m going into grassroots facilities in our communities.
From new pitches and changing rooms to breaking down barriers for women, disabled people and under-represented groups – this is about making sport accessible for everyone. 💪
Whether it’s rugby in Redcar or football in Grangetown – sport is at the heart of our communities.
Sport brings us together, boosts physical and mental health, and gives our young people the chance to shine. I’ll be pushing to make sure Redcar & Cleveland gets its fair share of this funding.
Let’s make sure our region is part of the sporting future – from the grassroots all the way to the world stage. 🌍❤️
