Magic Little Grants Fund

Small one-off grants are available to small local charities and community groups in Great Britain that are engaging hard to reach individuals, encouraging them to take part in physical activity to help improve their physical health.

The funding is for local projects that support and inspire people to participate in sports or exercise with the primary aim of improving the physical health of participants.

Grants can be used to support the general running costs of new and existing sports and physical activities. For example, this could include: facilities hire, kit & equipment, coaching qualifications, other volunteer expenses etc.
