The main purpose of Community Chest is to support good projects which will create new or improved sport and physical activity opportunities that are additional to what is already in place and would not be able to happen without a grant.  The maximum grant is £1,000 in any 12 month period.

Minor Grants

This initiative offers funding for projects that create new, additional or improved opportunities to play sport/take part in physical activity.  The scheme is used to encourage individuals, families and communities to become more active.  Grants from £1,000 up to £10,000 can be awarded. The total project cost cannot exceed £12,500.

Capital Grants

This includes small capital grants (awards of up to £50k) and major capital grants (awards of up to £250k). 

Sportsmatch

The scheme provides a vital link between the commercial sector and the development of grass roots sport, offering organisations (including clubs, National Governing Bodies and Local Authorities) support with projects that increase grass roots participation, by matching '£ for £' private sector investment.  Awards range from a minimum of £300 (up to three sponsors can make up this amount - normally £100 per sponsor) to a maximum of £50,000.
