Sport Wales has launched "A Place for Sport," a partnership with Crowdfunder to support community clubs and activities in raising money for facility improvements.
Crowdfunder is an online fundraising platform that enables individuals, charities, businesses, and community projects to raise money through collective financial support.
This innovative scheme offers not-for-profit sports clubs and community organisations in Wales the opportunity to receive match funding of up to 50%, with a maximum of £15,000 available per project.
The fund aims to support 'off-field' improvements such as changing room renovations, clubhouse upgrades, and accessibility enhancements. Eligible organisations must be based in Wales, serve primarily Welsh residents, and demonstrate how their project will increase access to physical activity in the community.
Sport Wales will assess each Crowdfunder project and determine the level of match funding, which ranges from 30% to 50% depending on the project's potential to tackle inequalities.
For instance, Newport Cricket Club successfully raised over £15,000 through Crowdfunder and received £6,000 in match funding from Sport Wales to purchase a new pitch roller, enhancing their facilities and promoting inclusivity.
Organisations interested in applying should visit the Sport Wales website for detailed information and guidance on the application process (link below).
