Funding

Barclays community fund in partnership with Sported. To support the delivery of football, tennis or cricket activities for women and girls.

This fund is open to organisations with an annual turnover of less than £500,000 that are delivering services to young people based within our eligibility areas. The aim of the Fund is to strengthen the financial resilience and capacity of small youth and outdoor learning organisations across the UK.

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.

Grants and other resources are available for community groups, local sports clubs and grassroots organisations across England with ideas of how to tackle inequalities and help get more people active as well as new initiatives that improve both environmental sustainability and physical activity opportunities for those who need it most.
