Sports grants

The sports development team offers advice and practical support to local organisations considering making an application for funding. Various sources of funding are available, including Awards For All and other grant-making agencies (e.g. Sportsmatch), for projects to increase and improve sporting facilities and opportunities in Peterborough.

The team can also assist in the preparation of sports development plans and constitutions, a pre-requisite for many grant applications and can help identify the most appropriate funding source for a particular project.
