<p>The government has committed to delivering the facilities that every community needs and is investing over £300m across the UK between 2022 and 2025 as a step towards that ambition - a £230m uplift, on top of an existing £18m annual commitment in England.</p><p>In 2021/22, £43m has already improved grass and artificial pitches, changing rooms and floodlights at over 170 facilities - to make a real difference to communities in all four home nations. This includes the creation or resurfacing of over 80 artificial grass pitches, over 20 grass pitch improvements, 40 changing room/pavilions and over 30 smaller capital projects such as floodlights and equipment. Recipients of funding in 2022/23 will be announced soon. Our delivery partners - the Football Association in Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland or the Football Foundation in England - deliver this funding on behalf of the Government, and engage directly with prospective projects.</p>
