Derbyshire County Council have recently launched a new fund 'Sport Action Grants'. Sports Clubs and organisations delivering sport and/or physical activity can apply for a grant of up to £1,000 to:
- Improve existing facilities
- Buy equipment
- Pay for new coaching costs
- develop new marketing materials
- develop personnel including coaches, volunteers and officials
The fund is aimed at 'not for profit' organisations, increasing the opportunity for people to take part in sport/physical activity within Derbyshire.
There will be 3 rounds over the next 12 months, with approximately £50,000 available per round. The first round will close 09 December 2011.
More information and an application form can be found on the Derbyshire County Council website.
