Barclays Community Sport Fund

The £1.4 million-a-year fund provides grants to community groups that are making football, cricket, or tennis more accessible to women and girls and operating in areas of high deprivation. The next deadline is 22nd June.

What can you apply for?

  • A £1000 grant to help sustain and increase access to football, tennis, and cricket for women and girls (as well as engage people from other underrepresented groups, such as people with disabilities, those from racially diverse communities and those from the LGBTQ+ community).
  • Funding for football, tennis, and cricket coaching courses to help increase the number of female coaches delivering sport to girls.

If successful for funding, your group will be able to access:

  • Exclusive match tickets, mascot places, and promotional opportunities.
  • Access to advice and support and signposting to training and resources.
