Grants to Create Access to Opportunities for Sport and Physical Activity for Disadvantaged People

Active Derbyshire, Active Notts, Funding, News

The Peter Harrison Foundation supports registered charities and Community Amateur Sports Clubs (CASCs) through grants that create access to opportunities for sport and physical activity at a grassroots level that enable people who are physically, mentally, socially or economically disadvantaged to develop personal and life skills to fulfil their potential.

The Trust will consider applications for capital, revenue or project funding and welcome projects that:

  • Provide a focus for skills development and confidence building,
  • Have a strong training and/or educational theme,
  • Provide specialised sporting equipment or facilities required to open opportunities,
  • Have a high degree of involvement from beneficiaries and those with lived experience,
  • Have a plan for sustainability and seek to deliver a lasting legacy.

There are two levels of funding:

  • Small grants: up to £5,000
  • Major grants: between £5,000 and £30,000

The next deadline is 1st July 2023.
