Movement Fund to “revolutionise” small grants

Sport England has changed its small grant application process in an effort to make it easier for sports clubs and other organisations to secure funding for their projects. The new Movement Fund, launched this week, aims to simplify funding applications and help those with the “greatest need”. Worth £160 million over the next four years, the new fund replaces Sport England’s existing Small Grants Programme and Active Together fund.

Aimed at community groups, local clubs and grassroots organisations, Movement Fund will offer investments of between £300 and £15,000. The launch coincides with the introduction of a new Movement Hub pilot, designed to make it easier for organisations to find Sport England’s existing tools and resources.
