To support Get Active, the vision for Sport and Active Leisure within Bath and North East Somerset over the next five years, a grant aid scheme exists to support sport and leisure groups, clubs and organisations get new projects running. Known as Get Funded the grant scheme allows applications for up to £3000 to assist with costs such as:

• Facility Hire
• Equipment
• Coaching
• Coach and volunteer development
• Capital costs

General maintenance and running costs will not be funded as Get Funded is particularly tailored to help organisations start new projects which will encourage more people to participate in physical activity. We are particularly interested in supporting projects which will encourage participation from the under represented groups in sport and active leisure. These target populations are:

• Women and girls
• Teenagers
• Black and Minority Ethnic groups
• People with disabilities
• People on low income

To be eligible to apply for a grant your organisation must:

• Be constituted
• Have a bank account that is audited annually
• Have a child protection policy
• Demonstrate an understanding of and a commitment to equal opportunities with no restrictions on membership.

The application form and an advice sheet are available as downloadable forms on the right hand side of this page.  These can be emailed once complete to marc_higgins@bathnes.gov.uk, please be aware that the necessary supporting documentation is still required before the application can be assessed.
