About us
The Sport and Recreation Alliance believes that the power of sport and recreation can change lives and bring communities together. Together with our members and in partnership with the wider sector, we make the most of opportunities and tackle the areas that provide a challenge. We do this by providing advice, support and guidance and by being the voice of the sector. Working with Government, policy makers and the media, we help grassroots sport and recreation grow and thrive. Having an active nation is important as it delivers huge benefits to society and the millions of participants, volunteers, staff and spectators.

Yesterday, MPs in the House of Commons spoke passionately about the value of sport and physical activity. Fantastic to see Jim Dickson MP reinforce our call to make the UK the most active nation in Europe, putting sport and physical activity at the heart of the Government's mission to transform the UK. As the voice of the grassroots sports, we were delighted that SRA research showing the value of community clubs was also referenced, confirming the role of our members in strengthening communities. Many thanks Andrew Lewin MP and Jim Dickson MP, and to all those who contributed to the debate! 👇 👇 👇
