A limited amount of funding is being made available for the second round of the fund.
Barclays Bank in partnership with the Sported Foundation is offering grants of up to £1,000 to not-for-profit organisations operating in an area of high deprivation to support delivery of their football activities to engage with young people (under the age of 25 years) from underrepresented groups.
This is an access grant which aims to help improve access to football for all. The funding is for groups that are running football activities for one or more of the following underrepresented groups:
- Women and girls.
- Young people with disabilities.
- Young people from racially diverse communities.
- Young people from the LGBTQ+ community.
- Young people from lower socio-economic groups.
The funding can be used for anything that will support delivery of football activities to underrepresented groups.
Typical examples of costs might include a contribution towards:
- Venue hire including floodlights and heating.
- Coaching costs
- Volunteer expenses
- Equipment
- Kit
- Marketing and communications
- Training and qualifications
- Insurances and affiliation
This is an ‘extremely popular’ fund, and applications may close earlier than the deadline. Groups should apply early to avoid disappointment.
Groups who are not a Sported member or existing grantee will need to create an account to start their application.
The deadline for applications is 15 September 2024.
