sported. Small Grants awarded in the South East

Following the September Small Grants panel it is with great delight that sported. in the South East can announce the first wave of successful Small Grants awarded to a number of projects it the Surrey and Kent area.

There were a range of grant applications received for the first Small Grant panel and it was great to see the variety of work being carried out by our Members in the South East. In total the amount awarded to members was £7,496 for a range of different and innovative projects with sport for development of young people being at the heart of the applications.

Some of the successful Members to be awarded a grant were:

Maidstone Puma's - To sustain and develop the engagement with young people in American Football with a particular focus on developing confidence in young people, respect and an opportunity in the area

Merstham Cricket Club - To develop the disability squad, access training facilities for winter months and train some young members as coaches for the group thus aiding sustainability.

The next round of Small Grants is now open and will close on 31st November 2011. If you are interest please contact Paul Napthine for an Expression of Interest.
