Funding
We know that people are going to be inspired to get involved in
sports once the Olympics arrives, so we have some funding schemes
to help get clubs and coaches ready to open their doors to the
community and new members.
Coach Education Grant – Make sure your club is
prepared and has plenty of qualified coaches ready to take on all
those keen new members! This grant is for volunteers involved in
clubs, who are looking to get onto or move-up the coach
education ladder. They can apply for up to a 40% financial
contribution to a level 1, 2 or 3 coaching qualification.
Club ‘Celebrate the Games’ Grant – We have a
pot of funding for clubs who want to use the Olympic Games to
inspire people within their wider communities to have a go at their
sports. This could be through a daytime festival event, over a
weekend, or a series of weekly sessions. We welcome all ideas so be
as creative as you like, and hopefully we’ll have an event in each
of the towns in the borough.
Grants to Talented Individuals – The Olympics
will inspire those already involved in sport to push themselves
that little bit harder. So to help you get there, we have a small
grant available to those who are competing or training at a high
level (above regional level) in their sports to help towards the
cost of travel, accommodation or entry fees to an event. It can
also be used to purchase some new equipment or kit.
