The £1.4 million-a-year fund provides grants to community groups that are:

• Making football, cricket, or tennis more accessible to women and girls

AND

• Operating in areas of high deprivation

What can I apply for?

• A £1000 grant to help sustain and increase access to football, tennis, and cricket for women and girls (as well as engage people from other underrepresented groups, such as people with disabilities, those from racially diverse communities and those from the LGBTQ+ community)
• Funding for football, tennis, and cricket coaching courses to help increase the number of female coaches delivering sport to girls

If successful for funding, your group will be able to access:
