Grants of up to £15,000 are available for a wide range of not-for-profit organisations with projects that bring communities together and provide sport and physical activities for people who may be less physically active.

Sports and communities are being encouraged by the funder to protect and adapt the environments in which sport and physical activity takes place and work together towards the country’s collective net zero ambitions.

Ideas should address any of three key environmental areas for the Sport England sector, which have been designed with and for local communities.

They should particularly benefit those experiencing greater disadvantage and all projects must have a 'line of sight' to physical activity, supporting inactive and less active audiences to be active while also addressing environmental sustainability.

The three areas are:

Reducing energy use
Encouraging responsible travel, e.g. encouraging people to walk or cycle where possible
Reducing waste and improving resources

The deadline of 31 March, which was set in 2023, has now been removed with applications accepted on a rolling basis.
