MOVES Tool
Sport England have launched a tool which helps calculate the cost benefits of sport and improved health.
MOVES is based on the evidence that increased physical activity reduces the risk of a number of diseases including cardiovascular disease and diabetes. These diseases cost money to treat and reduce quality of life.
The tool will help you to demonstrate the economic benefits of improved health through participating in sport and wider physical activity.
