Sport England is also answerable to Parliament through the
Department for Culture Media and Sport, which is its sponsoring

Sport England carries out its objectives mainly by granting
awards to sporting bodies and by making representations on planning
applications which affect playing fields.
Sport England receives its funding from two different sources:
from the government and from the National Lottery. The Annual Funding
Agreement sets out the funding that Sport England will receive
from the Government.
