Sport England’s Quest tool to receive updates

Sport England’s assessment tool, Quest, is being updated for 2026 with two new and improved products designed to simplify the process. The new products are “Quest for Facilities”, which will cater for individual sites, and “Quest Active Wellbeing”, which has been designed for contracts and/or places.

The changes are the result of feedback from a recent industry consultation, which highlighted opportunities to make Quest more efficient and effective for operators. Quest was first launched in 1999 as a tool for “continuous improvement”. It was designed to evaluate the management and operations of sports facilities and to define industry standards and good practice, providing a benchmark for quality and improvement. The scheme has been managed by Right Directions since 2010.
