The Queen’s Platinum Jubilee Activity Fund aims to use sport and physical activity as a means of bringing a community together and providing opportunities for people who may be less physically active. Project costs such as facility hire and coaching, and small capital improvements are eligible. It’s important that your project can continue to run, or have a lasting legacy as a result of the funding. Sports England are looking for projects that are built from local experience and feedback; that bring together various groups and communities; and also make the most of local facilities and equipment.
You don’t have to be a sports organisation to apply but you should show how you have the skills and experience to deliver the project. Priority will be given to projects that work with people in disadvantaged communities.
Grants of between £300 and £10,000 available.
