Sport England New Funding to Improve Sporting Facilities & Access to Community Sport (West Midlands) – Deadline: Rolling
Sport England is investing £6.5 million of National Lottery funding to improve sporting facilities and level up access to community sport across the West Midlands as part of a legacy from next summer’s Commonwealth Games.
The investment is made up of two funds to help community sport and physical activity groups tackle inactivity in local communities and engage underrepresented groups, such as people on lower incomes and disabled people.
• The Places and Spaces Fund will award up to £10,000 in match funding for Crowdfunder projects that create or improve physical activity facilities. Applications can be made at any time.
• The Commonwealth Active Communities Fund has been awarded to Coventry, Solihull, Birmingham and the Black Country to help people get active in their local streets and parks. This can include cycling and walking programmes, encouraging use of the canal network, expanding volunteering opportunities and supporting social prescribing.
