BME Youth Together Fund Accepting Applications
Funding to engage vulnerable groups in physical activity and strengthen communities across the country.
Formerly known as the Tackling Inequalities Fund, The Together Fund is a Sport England initiative which supports non-profit community organisations to recover and emerge from the long-term impacts of COVID-19.
BME Youth is administering this programme, which sees grants of £10,000 on offer to groups who are engaging the following communities in movement and physical activity:
- People with long-term health conditions.
- Disabled people.
- Lower socio-economic groups.
- Culturally diverse communities.
The fund is primarily aimed at voluntary and community sector organisations. However, applications from NHS/Local Authority or Leisure Trusts will be considered if it can be demonstrated that this is the best way to engage the relevant communities.
Grants can be used for costs associated with project delivery including equipment, hire of facilities, coach fees and transport and travel.
Applications will be reviewed on a rolling basis until 31 March 2023.
