Community funding and support

Helping people get active

We have Sport England funding to help those who face the most barriers to being active. The ‘Together Fund’ can fund projects to help:

Disabled people                        Ethnically Diverse Groups

Low income groups                   People with Long Term Health Conditions, e.g. asthma or dementia

Good projects will be able to show that the group are interested in the activity and their ideas have been involved in the design of the project.

We’re happy to chat via video or phone if that easier, just call 07908 748576 or email advice@sportbirmingham.org

Other places to look for funding

The National Lottery Community Fund

Comic Relief

Heart of England Community Foundation

Funding for faith / cultural groups

Most of our funding comes from lottery sources. If you can’t receive funding that is linked to gambling or lottery, we can explore ways to work with us so that the funds are suitable.

Community hubs and spaces

Using Inspiration from Glasgow 2014’s Commonwealth Games, we will soon be launching the ‘Club Together’ opportunity.

Funded by Birmingham City Council, we will asking local places, spaces and groups to apply for funding and guidance, and become part of a supported network. The successful groups will work together to understand how they can become more inclusive and welcoming to inactive people.

This may be through attending training, creating a local website, or reaching out to new groups and organisations who wouldn’t normally think about being active.

We will be launching the programme in June. If you are interested, please follow us on social media, or contact us on 07908 748576 or email advice@sportbirmingham.org

Reaching your community

Birmingham City Council have funded free Community Games events across the City.

The games are a great place for clubs and activity providers to chat to local people in a relaxed, friendly setting, and for the public to try new sports and activities.
