Investing in Young People

Labour is committed to extending access to sporting facilities, nurturing talent among Britain’s youth and giving our children engaging opportunities inside and outside of school.With £100 million in new investment for children’s sports, we aim to provide young people with the chance to take part in at least five hours of sport a week.


On top of the money Labour is already putting into sport for our young people this will mean £2.4 billion overall will be invested between 2003 and 2012 when Britain host the Olympics.We believe in the value of sport and have invested in over 430 specialist sports colleges to foster an environment of sporting excellence.


Labour is working towards a network of sports facilities to ensure our young people have places to go all of the time. All young people should have the opportunity to play well structured and well run competitive sport, improving public health and building safer communities.

But what more do you think we can do to continue to inspire and support our talented youngsters and how do you see sport playing a role in your community?
