Funding

This fund aims to support and promote grassroots sport within local communities by supporting people and projects that run sports activities that positively impact the local community and would tangibly benefit from funding. Individuals may nominate a sports club or organisation to receive a cash grant to continue delivering sports activities.

£400,000 is available in small grants for grassroots sports clubs in need. Flutter UKI have teamed up with the UK charity Sported for the 2024 edition of Cash4Clubs, offering small grants of £2,000 to community sports clubs and organisations that are giving adults access to sport across the UK and Ireland. In order to be eligible for funding, clubs and organisations must be either registered charities or clubs with a structured governance and constitution. They are also keen to hear from clubs that are targeting communities from deprived areas. Whilst funding is unrestricted, they are only able to support clubs that serve over 18-year-olds. they are particularly interested to hear from clubs that are using sport for other social purposes such as developing skills, reducing crime or addressing anti-social behaviour.

Grants of up to £5000 (most are under £2000) are available for schools, community groups, clubs, societies or other organisations in England to improve the education and development of children and young people through educational, cultural, sporting and other activities.

The funding is for charitable work that supports the Foundation's current priorities.

The objectives of the fund are: - Cost of Living Support – funding to any registered UK charity or community group whose work directly supports those most affected by the cost-of-living crisis, such as foodbanks, accommodation, poverty relief and where people/communities in the UK are the primary and immediate focus of investment. - Our Communities Support – funding to projects embedded in the communities in which Arnold Clark operates and is available to organisations who provide services widely accessible to those within Arnold Clark local communities, addressing the needs of those living within them. - Gear Up for Sport – 150 sports kits given away each month to support youth sports teams across the UK. Any youth team with up to 30 members aged 4 to 15 years can apply.

Children’s Alliance is a charity on a mission to provide better starts and brighter futures for all children in the UK especially those that face disadvantage. They are looking to support grass roots initiatives delivering water based projects for disadvantaged children. This support will be through financial grants and through leveraging their unique position within the aquatic industry in the UK.

The Movement Fund provides crowdfunding pledges, grants and support to help projects that get more people active.

Launched in April 2024, the Movement Fund offers crowdfunding pledges, grants and resources to improve physical activity opportunities for the people and communities who need it the most. If your project aligns with Sport England priorities, they can fund a wide range of costs and items up to £15,000. Their focus is to support projects that match their goal of getting more people active, reducing the number of inactive people and tackling inequalities.
