Grants - Sport Relief

This project ends in January 2009 - please do not apply under it without speaking to the Foundation team first.
Sport Relief was set up by Comic Relief and BBC Sport to use the power and passion of sport to tackle poverty and disadvantage, both in the UK and in some of the world’s poorest countries.
In the UK, Sport Relief will fund work which uses sport and exercise to strengthen communities and provide opportunities for people who are excluded or disadvantaged. This may be through low income, rural or social isolation, age, disability, race, sexuality or gender.
Sport Relief is looking to support community groups who are using sport to:
- Increase access to sport and exercise for people who face social exclusion and isolation
- Help people who are experiencing difficulties in their lives to regain their confidence and self-esteem.
How much funding is available? |
The minimum grant size is £1,000 and the maximum is £10,000. However, with only £18,000 a year to distribute, larger grants will need to show exceptional benefits. |
