Return to sport funding

Are you a club or group who is looking for more members over the age of 16? If so, the Return to Sport Fund could be for you. Funded by Sport England community investment fund, Hampshire County Council and Sport Hampshire and IOW, the Return to Sport programme has been developed to encourage participation, getting adults back into sport or starting out for the first time. We aim to promote exercise as a fun and social activity, as well as a way to get fit or to lose weight.

You can apply for up to £500 per project, this money must be spent providing high quality sessions over an 8 - 10 week period at a reduced rate to the participant. At the end of the course there must be an activity in place to follow-on to, this may be a club or pay and play session.

Each course must be supported with follow-on opportunities or exit route and funding CAN be used for:

1. hire of facilities
2. purchasing equipment
3. coaches costs
4. publicity

Please read the guidelines on applying and finance before completing the application form. You will also need to get your application aproved by your local Sports Development Officer.
