New Balance Get Active Fund

The New Balance Get Active Fund provides grants for charitable and community-based organisations that support children and young people (ages 5-25) through sport and physical activity used as a tool for social impact. Projects should go beyond fitness to help build confidence, leadership, resilience, social connection, and life skills. The fund aims to achieve outcomes such as building life and work skills through mentoring, coaching courses, or interview preparation; supporting young people who face extra challenges or fewer opportunities because of their background or life situation; and demonstrating long-term impact, such as improving health, confidence, or future education and job prospects. Priority is given to projects based in or serving communities around Flimby and organisations working with marginalised children and young people, especially those who are not in education, employment, or training (NEET), at risk of school exclusion, refugees or asylum seekers, newly arrived migrants, have experience of the care system, or are affected by exploitation, homelessness, or domestic abuse.
