Wesport have been administering Phases 1-3 of the Tackling Inequalities Fund since April 2020. As we progress on from Phase 3, the fund will be changing to Sport England’s Together Fund. The Together Fund will utilise investment to help reduce the negative impact of the coronavirus and the widening inequalities within sport and physical activity.
Insight has shown that certain groups were disproportionately affected by the pandemic and impacted their ability to be physically active. Therefore, the Together Fund will focus on four priority groups:
- Culturally diverse communities
- Disabled people
- People with long-term health conditions
- People on low incomes
Please watch the video below to offer you some information about the journey we have been on, up to this point, and how the new Together Fund will work.
