Sheffield Legacy Fund

The Sheffield Legacy Fund provides grants to grassroots community organisations within a three-mile radius of Sheffield Olympic Legacy Park to fund activities addressing physical and mental health and wellbeing. The fund supports charities, social enterprises and community groups doing work to support people by providing physical and mental health and well-being activities. Thanks to the generosity of Sheffield Olympic Legacy Park partners, small grants are available to community organisations to support this work. The fund particularly encourages applications from organisations led by and/or providing support to minoritised and marginalised communities in this area of Sheffield. Individual organisations can apply for grants of up to £1,000 to be spent within one year. Consortiums bringing together more than one community organisation in a single bid can apply for larger grants of up to £5,000, with one organisation identified as the lead applicant who will hold the grant and be accountable for it. The priority is to support all, or the majority, of the event or activity so that the grant can have real impact.
