This programme offers community and voluntary sports groups the opportunity to access unrestricted funding to boost their sustainability and get more people playing sports.
This year’s programme is focused on supporting adult clubs. Funding is therefore available to groups that support over 18s only.
You can apply for a grant of £2,000: there are no restrictions on how you can use the funding but it must result in increasing adult participation in sport, particularly adults from underrepresented groups and in areas of high deprivation.
Not-for-profit organisations, including charities, community groups and traditional sports clubs and teams can apply. Your group must be a registered charity, a club with a structured governance and constitution or a company without share capital. You must only be supporting adult members (18+) to be eligible for funding. You cannot apply if your organisation or club runs junior activities.
Focus of fund/fund aims:
Grants of £2,000 to encourage over 18s to get involved in sport
Application deadline:
