This report is part of Sport England's ongoing commitment to build the evidence of the economic value of sport. The research has been carried out by The Sport Industry Research Centre (SIRC) at Sheffield Hallam University, which has been established as the Sport and the Economy Collaborating Centre for 2005-8.  The economic value of sport has been assessed across England as a whole and separately for each region.

These reports form part of a study that has developed a methodology for valuing the sports economy to a particular region and has applied this in a consistent way to the nine English regions.  There is a clear need for information about the nature of the sports economy and its value to the economy as a whole. Such information is seen as vital to support the case for securing public funding in particular. The recent movement towards greater regional determination of policy, as indicated by the work of Regional Development Agencies, Regional Cultural Consortia and indeed the strengthening of the regional focus of Sport England means that the need is increasingly for consistent information at the level of the region.
