Grants for grassroots sports clubs in Redcar and Cleveland are now available, thanks to a new Redcar & Cleveland Borough Council initiative.
The programme is designed to support existing clubs providing investment to ensure long term sustainability but also increase sports participation – especially in more deprived areas.
The programme will aim to achieve the following broad objectives:
- Provide sustainability by ensuring our clubs have fit for purpose facilities to remain in existence for many years to come.
- Increase participation in sport, improving the mental and physical health of participants.
- Work with clubs operating in deprived areas to boost participation in these places.
- Deliver improved access to sport facilities for women and girls (100% equal access), and other under-represented groups, to increase participation in these groups.
How Much is Available?
The fund will award grants up to the value of £25,000, though applicants requesting a grant of £15,000+ will need to first fill out an expression of interest form.
They are willing to consider grants above £25,000 but see these as an exception rather than the norm and applicants whose bids fall into this category must speak to the grants team first.
