Welcome to our Sports Club Grant Scheme!
We are excited to introduce an initiative designed to support and empower sports clubs in our community. Our small club grant scheme aims to provide financial assistance to sports clubs to help them achieve their goals, enhance their programmes, support volunteers, and contribute to the overall well-being of our local sports community. This page will provide an overview of our sports club grant scheme, including its purpose, eligibility criteria, the application process, and the benefits it can provide to sports clubs. Whether you are a grassroots sports club or a well-established organisation, our grant scheme is designed to help you thrive and make a positive impact on the lives of athletes, coaches, and sports enthusiasts in our community.
Funding is available for one of the four funding streams available
The streams are:
