New tool launched to demonstrate economic value of sport in England
Sport England has launched a new modelling tool, designed to help local authorities calculate the economic impact of sport on their communities. The Economic value of sport – local
model will provide each local authority, county sport partnership and local enterprise partnership area with estimates on sports’ contribution to the local economy in the form of business output and jobs as well as health. Developed by Cambridge Econometrics and SQW, the model will provide a “snapshot” of the overall value of sport in the local area, indicating the contribution made by businesses and services supporting people playing sport plus the wider interests in sport – such as sports broadcasting or spectating at
The model could help steer investment and ensure the right facilities are built in the right places
sporting events. It will also help assess the impact of change, showing the effect of increasing or reducing the number of people playing sport, for example if new facilities are built, facilities are closed or more marketing is done to attract those
not playing sport regularly. Guidance on how to best use the evidence – to help protect existing investment and make the case for new investment in sport – will also be included.

Sports organisations need to be “brave and unconventional” if they are to reach young people who don’t take part in traditional physical education at school. The claim was made by Badminton England, the sport’s national governing body, after its own initiative to attract inactive teens succeeded in getting tens of thousands of young people playing the sport. The organisation’s Smash Up! initiative has been aimed at those 13-16-year-olds who wouldn’t normally take part in sport.
