Queen’s Platinum Jubilee Fund (Sport England)
Awards are to help inactive become to become active and less active people to become more active. The fund’s priority is to work with people within the areas of disadvantage as defined by the indices of multiple deprivation (areas 1 to 3). Projects should also consider how they are working with the local community and work collaboratively to maximise impact.
Funds are available for project costs such as facility hire and coaching, as well as for small capital improvements. Click here for more information.
Awards for All (National Lottery Communities Fund)
Awards for All can support the delivery of new or existing activity or to support your organisation to change and adapt to new and future challenges. The funds priorities are to:
- build strong relationships in and across communities
- improve the places and spaces that matter to communities
- help more people to reach their potential, by supporting them at the earliest possible stage.
In addition to meeting one or more of the above funding priorities they are also able to fund projects that support people, communities and organisations that are facing increased demands and challenges as a direct result of the cost-of-living crisis.
A wide range of costs including small capital improvements are covered by the fund. Click here for more information.
