Application forms and guidance notes

Applications must be submitted at least six weeks before your event or activity, and before the 24th of each month to be considered at our next meeting. For example, applications should be submitted by May 24 to be considered at the start of June. Clubs which receive funding must also complete a grant report form, following the event or activity, to assess its success. As part of your application, clubs must specify what any potential financial support will be used for. Examples include club development training, equipment, coach training, try-it events or sports festivals.
