Sport Wales Annual Report 2024-2025

Sport Wales is the national organisation responsible for developing and promoting sport and physical activity across Wales, distributing Welsh Government and National Lottery funding. The 2024-25 annual report covers a landmark year marked by record Welsh performance at the Paris Olympics and Paralympics, a challenging 10.5% budget cut navigated through collaboration, and significant progress on inclusion and grassroots sport. Key highlights include £4.2 million in community grants to 725 organisations, £8.7 million in capital investment in facilities, 8,228 participants in the 60+ Active Leisure Scheme, and a new economic value study showing sport contributes £2.9 billion to the Welsh economy including indirect effects. Sport Wales employed a preventative health agenda through Senedd engagement and sector-wide events.
