Everybody Foundation Funding Grants
Small grants of up to £200 are available to help support young people staying in sport. Grants must be used to subsidise club subscriptions, pay for equipment, or kit that could not be paid for otherwise, or used towards travel costs to and from sports training and tournaments. This can either be in the form of a general hardship fund for your club, or on behalf of a specific young person who is in immediate need. Currently, we are only accepting applications from local sporting organisations – either on behalf of a specific young person, or to create a hardship fund.
