Active Kingston sports development grants

This fund makes awards of between £500 and £1000 from a total allocation of £20,000. This grant aims to help clubs, community groups, and organisations to 'kick start' new sport, fitness and physical activity opportunities in Kingston for the residents of the borough.  Any new activity sessions will require some research and consultation before starting then take time to grow and become sustainable, this funding will help cover those start-up costs and once successful increase the number of opportunities in the borough.

We encourage the delivery to be aimed at those who would be less likely to take part in physical activity or may require more support to take part.  

It is important that the application shows how this activity will sustain in the longer term.
