Funding opportunity for Bromley's Sports Clubs

21 August 2008

Local sports clubs are invited to apply to our 2008-9 club development grant scheme. The scheme is aimed at supporting local sports clubs who are committed to increasing participation, attracting new members and raising performance standards.

Grants will be awarded up to the value of £1,000. In exceptional circumstances £2,000 can be sought, for example in conjunction with other funding applications such as Sportsmatch.

Crystal Palace Triathletes, who were recently awarded a grant of £1000 said, "This is fantastic news and the funding will help ensure that the club’s junior section can get off to a great start and will hugely benefit the children in the community. We are very grateful for Bromley Mytime's assistance and support and this will make a real difference in helping to encourage and support children to become involved in sport locally which will ultimately benefit the community as a whole."

Who is eligible?

Any sports club based in the London Borough of Bromley and a member of Sport Bromley, or agrees to join at the point of application (£10 p/a).

Previous successful grants have included contributions towards revenue costs such as venue hire, equipment, coaching costs, marketing material as well as capital costs such as handrails to make facilities more accessible.

Alison McCann, Sports Development Officer said “We have given over £20,000 of funding to a total of 22 clubs over the last couple of years which has really made a difference to encouraging more people to take part in sport and to join local clubs”
