There are Sport England offices in each region of England:Whilst recognising local differences and priorities Sport England have a national framework for sport which will be largely delivered through the regions with a focus on delivering outcomes. Given the differences in size, geography and socio-economic factors across the regions, a one-size-fits-all approach has not been imposed.

Regional offices of Sport England have an executive role with a remit to:

• Provide the expertise that supports development of the regional strategy, investment policy and sports plan
• Advise upon and/or make funding decisions
• Implement the regional sports plan, in conjunction with regional stakeholders and investment partners
• Feedback best practice and lessons learned to the support centre (via the director of partnerships and investment)

Sport England is here to facilitate, not to dictate. Power and decision-making is being devolved to our nine regions, who are better placed to manage funds at a local level.

Regional Sports Boards

Each regional director of Sport England works closely with a regional sports board (RSB). The RSBs reflect the Government's desire to see greater decision-making taking place regionally. As committees of the English Sports Council main board, with delegated powers and funds, they exist to:

• Develop a regional strategy and investment policy, highlighting specific local priorities
• Prepare, refine and review rolling sports plans to deliver the regional strategy
• Decide upon the allocation of regional resources
• Oversee implementation through their regional office
• Build strong, appropriate relationships with regional government, assemblies, cultural consortia, and RDAs to champion the value of sport to local communities
• Contribute to and inform Sport England's national policy through a consultation mechanism with all boards and through input from the 3 RSB chairs serving on the main board

RSB chairs are appointed by DCMS and accountable to the English Sports Council main board.

 Regional Federations of Sport

 In each region, co-incident with the Sport England regional boundaries, there is a Regional federation of Sport, which comprises the regional and county governing bodies of sport and the District & Local Sports Councils in the region. These Regional Federations are independent voluntary bodies affiliated to the CCPR.
