The document discusses funding for rugby clubs in England from various sources. It mentions that Sport England provides funding to the Rugby Football League (RFL) and that this funding has been reduced. The RFL plans to create a summer-based competition framework for amateur clubs and expand touch rugby programs to mitigate the impacts of reduced funding and youth recruitment by professional clubs. The maximum funding Sport England awarded to the RFL from 2009-2013 was £12,851,500 but was reduced to £12,538,477 due to cuts to Sport England's budget.
