Funding
Over a half a million pounds worth of funding has been awarded to different organisations across the Humber between January 2024-September 2024:
- Total Funding Awarded: £312,302.584
- Grants Under £15,000: £309,592
- Grants Over £15,000: £2,719.584
A large amount of the funding came from the swimming support fund (£1,178.892), highlighting a significant investment in swimming-related activities.
Grants under £15,000 were funded by the Sport England Small Grant programme (January to March 2024) and the new Sport England Movement Fund (April to September 2024). To attract more funding to the Humber region, Active Humber collaborated with partners to organise events and webinars promoting the Movement Fund. These aimed to help community organisations apply for funding to support sport and physical activity projects. Examples of projects funded include walking football, physical activity initiatives for people with Parkinson’s, and health and fitness programmes for those with long-term health conditions.
We also spoke to Kingswood Sport CIO about their experience applying for the Movement Fund and how it has helped them offer more community sessions. Watch the video below:
Peel Project Case Study
The Peel Project aims to enrich the community in Hull with a range of support based around the Peel Street Park area. The people they work with come from a wide range of ethnic backgrounds and they provide support to both adults and children. We attended one of their holiday activity sessions to learn about how people from the local community are helping out to support their community.
