Funding

This page summarises a number of funding opportunities that could help organisations who are looking to deliver sporting, physical activity and healthy living projects here in the West of England. The funding landscape is continually changing with funding streams opening and closing, therefore we have focused the information below on those that are relevant to sport and physical activity and those without a short term fixed closing date or deadline.

Quartet Community Foundation are the local community foundation for the region, also covering the old Avon boundary - Bath & North East Somerset, Bristol, North Somerset and South Gloucestershire. You can browse their grant programmes here.

We will often share details of short term funding opportunities on our social media pages and through our Partners Bulletin:

The Movement Fund is worth £160 million over the next four years and replaces existing Sport England Small Grants Programme and the Active Together fund. This fund is aimed at community groups, local clubs and grassroots organisations that are at the heart of delivering physical activity opportunities that boost people's health and wellbeing. Investments will be made through a mixture of crowdfunding pledges or grants between £300 - £15,000.
