Funding can help with things like:

👉🏽 Sports and activity equipment
👉🏽 Venue or facility hire
👉🏽 Coaches, staff or training
👉🏽 Accessible information, such as Easy Read materials
👉🏽 Promotion and marketing
👉🏽 Other reasonable costs linked to running your activity

We want people to talk about ideas together at places like a community forum, and we encourage applications that benefit the whole community and are sustainable (can continue after the funding has been spent). Our Active Community has £20,000 every year until 202, most grants are £200–£4,000

So far, Ealing seed funding has supported applications for:

👉🏽 Multisport sessions at Gunnersbury Park
👉🏽 A summer multisport sports day with Access Sport
👉🏽 YSN Gaming & Sport event

These projects are helping people with a learning disability try new activities, be more active and connect with their community.
