Turnfurlong Junior School in Aylesbury and Radnage Village School will benefit from £2,752 in new funding as a result of the Government’s long-term investment in grassroots sports.
Aylesbury MP Rob Butler said: “There is a clear link between feeling your best, both mentally and physically, and exercising regularly. That’s why I welcome the news that the Government is helping local children get active by investing in our grassroots sports facilities.”
Across the UK, more than 1,100 projects are receiving funding towards facilities such as changing rooms, pavilions, state of the art 3G football turf, goalposts, and floodlights, improving access to sport and physical activity for local communities.
Sports Minister Stuart Andrew MP said: “Sport and physical activity are vital to our mental health and wellbeing, and each year thousands of people make a New Year's resolution to exercise more.
“This Government has delivered thousands of new projects across the UK with the aim of getting more than 120,000 more people to get active, helping us to make big strides towards meeting our ambitious target of 3.5 million more people active by 2030.”
