This scheme is for not for profit organisations.

There are 2 application windows. The first window opens on 19th July and closes on 17th September. The second window opens on 27th September and closes on 19th November. A panel will meet at the end of each window to assess applications.

The project needs to directly benefit people who are inactive or have low physical activity levels.

Organisations need to be based within the boundaries of Coventry, Solihull and Warwickshire. The project that is being undertaken and the participants of the project need to be from within these boundaries.

Grants can be awarded for projects that contribute towards getting people more physically active. The scheme can award financial contributions towards:-

The marketing and promotion of a particular project.......
The cost of equipment and/or kit.....

The cost of an event(s).......
Other projects that contribute towards getting people more physically active.
Funding can only contribute up to the first 12 months of the project if the project lasts longer than 12 months.

Please note that priority is given on various factors such as projects that demonstrate plans for sustainability or that have the potential to become sustainable, have clear justification and potential for getting people more physically active and people who are 16+ and under 5, due to the nature of the source of the funding.
