The Small Grants Programme seeks to develop opportunities for communities to get more people physically active. New projects from not-for-profit organisations will be supported through providing National Lottery funding of between £300 and £15,000.
You can apply for funding to deliver a new or existing activity, that will support inactive and less active people become more active by doing at least one of these things:
- Recover and reinvent: recovering from the biggest crisis in a generation, to provide sport and physical activity opportunities that meet the needs of different people.
- Connecting communities: focus on sport and physical activity’s ability to make places better to live and bring people together to be physically active.
- Positive experiences for children and young people: a focus on positive experiences as the foundations for a long and healthy life.
- Connecting with health and wellbeing: strengthening the connections between sport, physical activity, health, and wellbeing, so more people feel the benefits and advocate for an active life.
- Active environments: creating and protecting the places and spaces that make it easier for people to be active.
They will prioritise projects that support their focus of investing most in those that need it most. They will do this by supporting more projects that can demonstrate the following priorities:
- The project will be supporting people who live in areas of disadvantage as defined by the Indices of Multiple Deprivation areas 1-3.
- The project is focused on tackling inequalities.
