UK Sport to cut 25% of its staff amid financial pressure
UK Sport, the government agency that provides funding for the British Olympic and Paralympic programme, will have to cut 25 per cent of staff jobs and 50 per cent of its directors by July.

UK Sport has about 150 staff, providing funding of close to £340 million, which is sourced from the National Lottery, for Olympic and Paralympic sport.
