New Funding Programme to Encourage People to Get Active
Sport England has launched a new fund to encourage more people to get active.
The Movement Fund, which is worth £160 million over the next four years, will offer crowdfunding pledges, grants and resources to provide physical activity opportunities for the people and communities who need it the most.
Eligible projects could receive up to £15,000 to cover a wide range of costs and items that will help deliver positive change, particularly for those facing barriers to activity such as:
- people living on low incomes
- disabled people or those with long-term health conditions
- older people
- people from culturally diverse communities
- pregnant women and parents with very young children
- girls aged 5-16
- LGBTQ+ people
- people who are in foster care
- people who provide care without pay
Who can apply:
- sports clubs
- charities
- local authorities
- schools
- Community Benefit Societies
- not-for-profit companies
The fund supports projects that promote physical activity, including:
- active travel
- walking
- cycling
- dance
- fitness
- sporting activities
The fund replaces Sport England’s existing Small Grants Programme and Active Together fund.
Applications can be made at any time.
