Around 500 community-based sports projects in Devon are to receive grants, after the county council was awarded 250 thousand pounds in lottery funding.
The council has also put some of its own money towards the initiative, which is designed to build a lasting legacy of last year's Olympic and Paralympic games.
A total of nearly 400 thousand pounds will be invested in community sport over the next three years - the aim is to find activities people want to take part in, and then provide them.
