  26. ….Children as young as five will be targeted as part of a new government strategy to involve more people in sport and fitness. • Focus on getting younger children active • Investment to start at five years of age • Shift in emphasis away from only funding formal sport to more general fitness • Therefore going forwards this funding will become more prominent for those working with young children.

  27. Capital and Larger Revenue Funding Pots

  28. Section 106 Monies / Community Infrastructure Levy Funding for Outdoor Sport and Play using section 106 housing developer contributions based on the loss of green space due to changes in land use mainly for the development of housing. Section 106 Agreements are sometimes entered into with housing developers to fund sport and play. The methods for collecting such monies are based on existing supplementary planning documentation from Council linked to Local Development Frameworks.

  29. What can be funded? The funding is for capital items only e.g. indoor and outdoor sporting and recreational facilities. Projects must be within specified locations and be open to the general public. Where a local organisation is looking to develop or improve facilities, it needs to include appropriate arrangements for wider community use.

  30. What can be funded? • The funding is for capital items only e.g. for new facilities or improvements to existing ones for example: • new children's play areas • new sports pitches / areas • new equipment in an existing play area • upgrading of facilities for outdoor sports such as changing rooms • Specialised sports equipment e.g. Cricket Roller

  31. Landfill Funding

  32. Examples Include; • WREN • Viridor Credits • Veolia Environmental Trust • Biffa Award • Sita Trust Grants range from £5,000 to £100k Each Landfill Funder has different funding deadline dates throughout the year

  33. Who is eligible? Potential projects can be put forward by local authorities, environmental organisations, community groups and individuals. Usually distributes funding in various parts of the country and all projects must fall within ten miles of a waste management facility operated by the Landfill Funder

  34. Third Party Funding Landfill operators can claim a tax credit worth 90% of their contribution, leaving a 10% shortfall. Successful applicants are required to identify a third party to reimburse this remaining 10%. This can be the applicant organisation itself (evidence will be needed of how the funds have been raised) or an eligible third party (e.g. private company, voluntary body or individual). The reimbursement cannot be made by another Environmental Body (as approved by ENTRUST) or an organisation corporately associated with an Environmental Body

  35. Reaching Communities • Aims to fund revenue or small capital projects that create stronger communities, improve rural and urban environments, give people better chances in life and/or encourage healthier and more active people. • The Reaching Communities programme has two strands; • Strand one: Reaching Communities revenue and small capital funds between £10k - £500k for revenue projects and/or smaller capital projects up to £50,000 • Strand two: Reaching Communities buildings funds between £100,000- £500,000 for large capital projects.

  36. Sport Specific Funding • Some NGB’s have sport specific grants e.g. ECB, Football Foundation, Amateur Athletic Association and National Hockey Foundation • Others offer Interest Free loans e.g. Bowls England, ECB • This is always evolving based on the funding they receive and their new plans and strategies

  37. Part 2: Update on Sport England Funding

  38. What do we know so far? Sport England launched its new ‘Towards an Active Nation’ strategy in June this year. Sport England will ensure their investment benefits under-represented groups, prioritising demographic groups who are currently under-represented in terms of their engagement with sport and physical activity. This includes many different groups including women, older people, disabled people and people from lower socio-economic backgrounds. Use the behaviour change model to help guide their investment decisions. They will focus on three behavioural challenges: tackling inactivity; creating regular activity habits and helping those with a resilient habit stay that way.

  39. Build on the lessons learned in their Inspired Facilities programme to simplify all of their competitive funding processes over the life of this strategy, starting with the new Community Asset Fund which will replace our Small Grants programme. Investment is likely to be split as follows: 29% Core Market, 17% Children and Young People, 16% Facilities, 16% Local Pilots, 13% Inactivity, 6% Mass Markets and 3% Volunteering Create a new, dedicated fund of £120 million to tackle inactivity over the next four years, building on the insight Sport England has gained from their Get Healthy Get Active pilots.

  40. Make a major new investment of £40 million into projects which offer new opportunities for families with children to get active and play sport together. Help to ensure there is a good sports and activity offer before and after the school day and exploring the new Government investment into extending the school day and breakfast clubs. Create a new strategy for volunteering in sport and physical activity in England by November 2016, making available up to £30 million over the next four years to support the implementation of this strategy.

  41. Continue to invest in all types of facilities, with a strong presumption in favour of multi-sport for their major strategic investments. They will also create a new Community Asset Fund to support local infrastructure. They will therefore replace Inspired Facilities with a new community asset fund to include helping communities take ownership of local assets from local authorities or elsewhere. The new fund will allow applicants to apply for a revenue as well as a capital grant in a single application. Their investment for facilities will therefore concentrate on two areas: A strategic capital programme – for large, usually multi-sport facilities Community Asset Fund – offering grants of between £10,000 – £150,000 to support and improve existing local infrastructure

  42. It is hoped that this will be similar to the previous Inspired Facilities converting facilities from this……

  45. To this…

  46. Part 3: Funding Hints and Tips

  47. AVOID... • Flooding application with ‘buzzwords’ • Making grandiose claims – e.g. ‘the refurbishment of our facility is critical to the future of sport in the UK’ • Assuming the assessor has any knowledge of your organisation/ situation/needs – everything must be CLEARLY explained and rationalised • Applying for more money than you really need • Rushing the application – take your time, refine and get it right!

  48. Be specific - on geographical areas and age groups Don’t try to broaden things too much because you think it looks better to the funder - it doesn’t e.g. feeling you have to target numerous locations Can someone not knowing your project understand what you are wanting to achieve – give this to some not connected to the project and see if they understand what you are trying to do The school might not always be the best applicant and a partner might be the better applicant

  49. Top 10 Tips when Applying for Funding Be clear about your funding requirements  before making an application e.g. ensure selection criteria for the funding scheme fits the aims and objectives of your project – some funders don’t fund certain organisations so it’s important to check Be aware of funding deadlines and ensure it is submitted before the deadline Do not start work on your project until funding has been granted – Most funding bodies do not cover retrospective funding
