EXTRA £25,000 Funding for Suffolk sports projects

Tuesday, August 06, 2013

Its been a busy time for Sportivate in Suffolk as more people are using the funding to help deliver on the Olympic Legacy and get 14-25yr olds involved in sport and physical activity. Some of the highlights are as follows:

* Suffolk exceeds 4,800 sign ups and achieves 4 year target
* Over 430 projects successfully delivered, receiving £150,000 worth of funding
* 83 partners receive funding to deliver a Sportivate project (includes sports clubs, NGB's, charities, leisure centres, colleges, etc)

* Winners of the National Award for Project & Participant of the Year 2013

Due to these facts and the number of innovative projects that many of you are delivering, Suffolk Sport has received an EXTRA £25,000 worth of funding to support more projects between October and the end of March 2014.

Although ALL applications will assessed against Sportivate criteria, focus remains on 18-25 year olds and ADDITIONAL FUNDING to engage and retain this age group will be considered. This could include additional marketing costs, subsidised training, providing incentives such as subsidised membership, free T shirt etc.  For more information on this or for an informal discussion please feel free to contact me on the details below.

All applications must be emailed to me by Friday 13th September 2013, applications submitted after this date will not be considered.
