Sport England have launched a funding programme open to a wide range of organisations including sports clubs, voluntary or community organisations, local authorities, schools, colleges and universities.
The funding programmes are:
The Sport England Small Grants Programme has been set up to support local community sport projects which seek to increase participation, sustain participation or develop opportunities for people to excel at their chosen sport. To find out more about the ‘Small Grants’ funding opportunity click here.
The Sport England Sportsmatch programme increases investment in community sport by matching new sponsorship money pound for pound. To gain Sportsmatch and find out more click here.
The Innovation Fund will create innovative sporting opportunities enabling existing participants to do more, or to bring sport to those people who currently play sport only occasionally, or not at all.
The overall aim of this £5 million investment programme is to find and nurture genuine breakthroughs that will transform the way community sport looks and feels in the future.
The fund will invest in new ideas and solutions which will reach a whole new audience, and provide better, more exciting opportunities to a wider range of people, some of whom, perhaps, think that sport is not for them. If you have an innovative sporting opportunity click here to find out how you can access the ‘Innovation Fund’.
Sport England are running themed rounds with the first of the themes being ‘Women in disadvantaged communities and women caring for children under 16’. The themed round aims to tackle gaps in sporting participation. To find out more about the Women in disadvantaged communities and women caring for children under 16's themed round click here.
The Sustainable Facilities Fund invests £10m a year of Lottery and Exchequer money into innovative projects capable of transforming the places where we play or take part in sport. Click here to fin dout more about the Sustainable Facilities Fund.
