Sport England – Community Assets Fund

£50,000 - £150,000

The places where people play sport and get active really matter. Whether it’s the park you run through, the hall you do classes in or the pitch you play on, welcoming, convenient and accessible spaces have a big impact on a person’s experience – and likelihood of coming back. Help to transform community sports facilities Traditional sports facilities are an important part of this, but it can be much wider too. There are thousands of outdoor spaces up and down the country – like canal towpaths, reservoirs and woodlands – all with great potential to be used and enjoyed as part of an active lifestyle. If you know of a facility or space that’s important in your local area and could do with some help to improve it or open it up to more people, our new Community Asset Fund could be the answer. What are we looking for? We’re interested in talking to lots of different sports clubs and community organisations with great ideas to create, or improve, opportunities to play sport or just get active. For example, you might be:

A community organisation looking to take over a sports facility that might be under threat of closure or is underused.

A sports club that wants to expand or improve the sporting experience you offer your customers.

People who simply have a great idea for a project, like making physical improvements to a building or open space, that’s clearly needed in the local community.

How? vInspired is offering grants of up to £500 to turn young people’s ideas into reality

and get their projects of the ground. The great thing about Cashpoint is that once a

Sport Specific Name of Grant Grant


Rowing Foundation

£500-£2000 The Rowing Foundation is a registered charity. Its purpose is to promote the participation in rowing of young people (those under 18 or still in full time education) and the disabled of all ages.

The Foundation gives grants of £500-£2,000 to help British rowing organisations and clubs whose requirements may be too small or who may be otherwise ineligible for an approach to the National Lottery or other similar sources of funds.

Seafarers UK Unspecified Sailing or Youth Clubs or organisations whose primary purpose is to provide opportunities for people to sail or learn to sail – including young or disabled people. Seafarers UK funding is primarily aimed at the welfare needs of seafarers, ex-seafarers and their families. What limited support we are able to offer maritime youth organisations is intended to support those organisations who can demonstrate a clear link between their activities and young people considering or choosing a career at sea.

The Swimathon Foundation

£300 - £2,500 Grants are available to individuals and groups who provide opportunities for swimming and promote the sport in their local communities. The foundation is passionate about encouraging people to get involved in swimming, so any innovative and sustainable project which will make swimming more accessible to the community, or get more people participating, are invited to apply. As the grants are awarded annually, pools, individuals or community groups that have received funding from the Swimathon Foundation Community Grants Scheme in the last 12 months are not eligible to apply. Applicants must demonstrate in their application how the funding will allow them to:

Introduce those who do not usually swim to the sport

Increase the frequency that existing swimmers go to the pool

Make improvements to the swimming experience for new and existing customers

The grants are administered by British Swimming and the Swimming Trust
