Sport-related grants for communities

There are sport-related grants available to communities across the West Midlands as part of the Birmingham Commonwealth Games legacy work.

We, Birmingham City Council, Sport England and The Department for Digital, Culture, Media & Sport (DCMS) have developed the Physical Activity Legacy.

The objectives of the Physical Activity Legacy are:

To improve access and opportunities to reduce inactivity
To target support to those most in need
To encourage walking and cycling and developing facilities for community use
To support people and communities to look after their mental health

As part of the legacy, Sport England’s Active Partnerships have small grant funding available for local community organisations who have been inspired by the Games. This can help to get more people active or grow community organisations club membership

Other grant opportunities include building and capital improvements via Sport England, which is responsible for growing and developing grassroots sport and getting more people active across the country.
