Support for Sport - large development grants

People playing sport Sports clubs can apply for one of 12 annual grants, worth £5,000 each, as part of the Support for Sport scheme.

To be eligible, clubs must have a full constitution, an active development plan and want to use new initiatives to expand their organisation.

Application process

Applications for large development grants are available from June each year. We are not currently accepting applications at this time.

To apply for a large development grant, clubs must submit a self-assessment form to us. This is assessed to make sure it meets our criteria for funding and, if it does, we will provide you with a full application form.

This must be submitted, along with copies of your current club development plan, child protection policy and equality statement, to allow us to assess your application.

Successful clubs will be notified by September each year.
