Grants are available to clubs, community groups or teams to encourage vulnerable and underprivileged children and young adults to get active and enjoy taking part in sport. The funding aims to support the Trust's objectives which are:

• The relief of those who are in need, particularly children and young people, by reason of sickness or disability, financial hardship or social and economic circumstances, including by the provision of grants to fund items such as sports equipment, club membership or training facilities for those who cannot afford them.
• To help young people, by means of sport and healthy recreation, to develop their capabilities and fulfil their potential as individuals and members of society.

The following grants are available:

• Individual grants of up to £2,000.
• Clubs/groups or teams - grants of up to £5,000.

Only when there are sufficient funds available will the Charity Trustees award grants to fund up to 100% of the cost of a proposal. The funding aims to enable organisations to build capacity; achieve sustainability; increase their reach and support and develop their vision. Grants can be used for the following:

• Purchasing sports equipment, kit, and gear.
• Transport costs.
• Club membership.
• Sports specific coaching education/training.
