Sport England - Inspired Facilities Fund

Grants of between £25,000 and £150,000 for facility modernisation

The Inspired Facilities Fund aims at touching local communities across the country with the magic of London 2012 in a tangible way, and this fund will bring National Lottery funding to local groups and facilities that haven't previously benefited.

Sport England will invest £50 million of National Lottery funding in up to 1,000 local sports facilities.

Who can apply: Clubs, community and voluntary sector groups and councils will be able to apply for grants of between £25,000 and £150,000 where there is a proven local need for a facility to be modernised, extended or modified to open up new sporting opportunities.

Deadlines: This fund launches in the summer of 2011.
