Sport England have transformed their funding application process to make it easier for sports clubs and other organisations who help people to take part in physical activity apply for money.
New Movement Fund
Their new Movement Fund, which launched on 29th April, simplifies funding applications and will help those with the greatest need secure investment to support people to live active, healthy, lives.
The fund, which is worth £160 million over the next four years, replaces their existing Small Grants Programme and Active Together fund, and will offer crowdfunding pledges, grants and resources to provide physical activity opportunities that can help us tackle long-lasting inequalities.

The launch coincides with the introduction of their new Movement Hub pilot – which will make it far easier to find our existing tools and resources.
