Recreation Grants

How do you spend your spare time?

Do you have a hobby or are you passionate about disability sport or disability arts?

Whatever your situation.....age, ability or condition.....there are opportunities for extra funding to help make the most of your activities and leisure time.

It doesn't matter whether you want to compete in the next Paralympics or just want the chance to improve your fitness and have fun!

There are grants for individuals to fund specialist sports equipment such as sports wheelchairs, training and transport to sporting events.

And.....Extra funding for local sports clubs to improve facilities and increase disabled participation.

With the Paralympic Games sports funding has increased substantially, as it is recognised that this was a once in a lifetime opportunity to leave a lasting sporting legacy for future generations.

It has also inspired funding for the arts with special commissions for disabled artists.

Information on grants for other activities can be found on other web pages:

Grants for Computer and Assistive Technology - for adapted equipment for Playstations, media entertainment and computer games

Grants for Holidays- for outdoor and adventure activities

All Sports and Recreation Groups must look at.....
