    Brief

    This funding opportunity supports the expansion of free sports activities for young people through after-school and holiday clubs across 20 schools in the region. The grant will fund 200 free places or 200 hours of sports delivery. The Foundation of Light will match-fund this investment, doubling the provision to 400 places or hours, and provide additional in-kind support for another 200 places or hours. This is part of a broader initiative where five Sports Foundations will collectively deliver 3,000 hours or places through a combination of direct funding, match funding, and in-kind contributions. Organizations and schools interested in providing expanded sports access to young people should apply to help increase participation in free physical activities during out-of-school time.
