Grants for places where people can be active
Many sports clubs, community groups and organisations like schools and colleges dream of developing or improving their facilities but all too often this feels like it’s out of reach. One of the best sources of medium size grants for investment in places where people can be active is Sport England’s Community Asset Fund. This offers clubs and community groups a fantastic opportunity to secure much-needed investment to create or improve places where local people can be active. This could be a football pitch, community hall, canal towpath or almost any other space.
Details can be found about the programme here on Sport England's web site.
As with most grant application processes bids to this fund will be highly competitive so building a strong case for your application is critical. At HeawardSports We specialise in writing high quality bids and can help you formulate a great bid backed up by a strong, persuasive and importantly sustainable business plan.
If your idea isn’t to create a traditional sports facility don’t let that put you off either as Sport England have been clear that they are keen to see innovative and new ideas too.
