- Improving Health and Well Being.

Organisations must first be a Member of sported., click here to apply.  Grant applicants should discuss their project with the Regional Manager for Yorkshire and the Humber, Paul Steele.  Once it has been determined that the project meets the eligibility an application form will be sent for completion.

sported. will consider funding a range of project costs, however, generally we will not help fund large capital expenses such as building facilities. We are also unable to fund activity which is undertaken within schools during curricular time.

The deadline for the current round of applications is Monday 21 September.  Applicants will be advised as to whether they are successful in October.
