The fund aims to support the shared goals of Sport England, Toyota, and the British Paralympic Association to continue to improve the quality and quantity of sport and activities available to disabled people.
Applications should be focused on returning disabled people to previously run activity, or on enabling previous projects to adapt to resume delivery, when that’s possible. This fund isn’t to support new projects or start-ups, and is aimed at clubs/organisations that already exist.
The following are examples, but not an exhaustive list, of uses for the funding:
- Additional sports equipment, or coaches/instructors for additional sessions because of having to deliver to smaller groups than normal.
- Signage, sanitation, or training courses to help clubs deliver activities safely and accessibly.
- To purchase additional equipment to send to individual club member’s homes on a loan basis, until they’re ready and confident to return to take part within the club environment
The spend on the project should be completed within a 12-month period from the date of the award letter and aim to start within six weeks of the award letter.
As part of the application process you must register your activity and add an opportunity on the Para sport website, this will provide you with a URL. Which you will need to refer to within the application form.
