Quarter 2 2025/26 Budget Monitoring Report
Lambeth Council is reconsidering proposed cuts to the Community Sports Budget for under 18s, following concerns raised in November 2025.
In November 2025, Lambeth Council's Cabinet discussed reconsidering proposed cuts to the Community Sports Budget for those under 18, following a recommendation from the Overview and Scrutiny Committee. This reconsideration was prompted by concerns from union representatives about the potential impact on young people's health and wellbeing, and on equality in the workforce.
The Overview and Scrutiny Committee had urged the council to rethink the cuts if alternative grant funding could not be secured to replace the lost budget. No further meetings are currently scheduled to discuss the Quarter 2 2025/26 Budget Monitoring Report, which details the council's financial position and proposed savings.
