What funding is available for my group?
There are a number of schemes available and open throughout the year on a rolling basis to support groups and clubs such as the National Lottery's Community fund which has grants from £300 - £2m to support your group.
Sport Wales and your National Governing Body of Sport may also have funds that could support your group/ club or project in mind.
There are opportunities to apply for other local funding schemes that appear through shorter funding rounds. Our Local Development Officer keeps an updated list of these grants available on our website and is on hand to support you to make an application to any of these grants, we can even provide a match making service to help you find the right funding for your group or project. Simply complete the form found in the button below and Dan will be in touch shortly afterwards.
To access the majority of funding available you will need to comply to the following:
✅ - Be a Constituted group
✅ - A community Bank account in place
Don't have these in place? - Then we can help you to make this happen.
