The Sport England Small Grants Programme aims to support local community sport projects that encourage people to feel able to get involved in sport and physical activity.
Grants of £300 to £15,000 are on offer for a twelve-month period. The deadline for applications is Friday 30 June 2023.
Applicants do not have to be a sports organisation to apply and a wide range of organisations are eligible including sports clubs, community groups, charities, CICs, schools and local authorities. Sport England is particularly interested in the applicants’ knowledge of and track record in the community that will benefit from the project.
The fund will support projects delivering recognised sports and physical activity and can cover costs such as:
- Coaching
- Volunteer training
- Service alterations
- Additional equipment.
Applications should consider how the project adds value to services currently available in your local community, and work collaboratively with other groups to maximise the impact of the project.
