Grant News

Grants of between £10,000 and £80,000 are available to improve sports spaces and inspire activity in London.

The funding is available through London Marathon Group’s Active Spaces Fund to support community groups, schools and other not-for-profit organisations to improve and create spaces where children, young people, and marginalised groups and communities can participate in sport and physical activity.

Funding will support capital and/or revenue projects, including:

• building or renovating facilities
• purchasing new or replacement equipment
• venue hire
• coaching costs
• salaries

Priority will be given to projects that:

• enable the least active children, young people and underserved groups and communities to lead active and healthy lives
• take place in areas of greatest need, for example, areas with fewer spaces, places and facilities for sports and physical activity or where communities are likely to be affected by high levels of deprivation
• are delivered by organisations with a close connection to the community they want to support
• will improve and activate spaces, places and facilities beyond the funding period

Expressions of interest can be submitted at any time. Successful, organisations will be invited to submit a full application by the 5th July 2024.
