What is it? Sport England receives funds from the government and the National Lottery, and its small grants programme helps voluntary and community organisations deliver grassroots sport in England.
The fund is aimed at improving sporting opportunities available to communities and bettering people's experiences of playing sport.
How much is on offer? Grants of between £300 and £10,000. The total cost of the project should not exceed £50,000 and its main target must be improving sports participation and outcomes of sports currently recognised by Sport England.
What will it fund? New targets for the funding scheme were introduced in June, on which all future applications will be assessed. Priority will now be given to projects that provide young people aged 11 to 16 with extra-curricular sports; organisations that encourage young people aged 16 and above to continue their participation in sports; and projects that increase the number of adults taking part in sport.
