London 2012 Olympic trampoline gymnast Kat Driscoll has joined Sport England Chair Nick Bittel in announcing that Sport England is to invest £40 million to extend its hugely popular Inspired Facilities Olympic and Paralympic legacy fund to 2017.
The pair made the announcement at MK Springers, a gymnastics club in Milton Keynes that has been transformed by investment from Inspired Facilities. The club used a £50,000 lottery award to create a modern grassroots gymnastics facility at a former warehouse, and is one of many gymnastics centres that have benefited from the Inspired Facility programme.
Kat Driscoll said: “It’s fantastic to see so many local sports facilities, including lots of gymnastics clubs, benefitting from this lottery investment, with even more set to benefit in the future. Good facilities are really important to grassroots sport as they are the places where you can discover just how fun sport can be.”
