people undertaking the voluntary work, approximately 16 million hours of work a week. He
clearly states that those people of age between 16 to 24 is as high as in old age group. Also, it has
been also suggested that voluntary sector vitally helps and develops a sports industry on the basis
of providing various opportunities and development for the people of sports. The voluntary
sector helps in increasing the participation through supporting the excellence and elite
performances. It has been also suggested that sports development in England uses the lottery
system for the awards enrichment for those who included in the sport development. The awards
are made for authorities, organisations, school and the governing bodies.
One of the current policy of United Kingdom is a new strategy for an active nation. This
policy is made by the government of United Kingdom in 2018 to increase the levels of sport
participation and increases inactivity. It can be possible with the government that they can make
the certain changes and focus on five outcomes including physical well being, mental ability,
social, community and the individual development. In future, it can also possible that decisions

the practices so that players feel free to get the best out of it. Since the start of the sport-for-all
movement, the context of sports participation in the United Kingdom has undergone some drastic
