Focusing on Young People
>>> Princes Trust Grants Programme
Do you have a good
idea for your
community, and a few
mates to help? The
Prince's Trust can
find the funding to
make it happen.
We support groups of
young people with
all kinds of
community projects -
everything from
publishing magazines
to starting drop-in
centres for other
young people to
running drug and
alcohol awareness
workshops.

Focusing on Sport
>>> Sport England
The Community Investment Fund focuses investment into projects and programmes that can help people to start, stay and succeed in sport and physical activity. We look for projects that seek to involve the whole community, particularly hard-to-reach groups, that match regional priorities laid out in our plans for sport; and that recognise the wider benefits of sport and activity in terms of health, education and community.
>>> Football Foundation
Applications are welcomed from
community groups, youth clubs,
football clubs and education
establishments. The Foundation also
seeks to encourage applications from
groups whose income is less than
£15,000 per annum.

>>> Barclays Spaces for Sport
We're helping
local communities transform
neglected land into the sporting
facilities they want - from a
skateboard park to a football pitch
or multi use games area. We provide
initial funds, supply equipment and
help establish sporting activity at
the site.
