Sports Foundation for the Disabled Funding Programme

The Sports Foundation for the Disabled provides funding to enable people with physical disabilities and visual impairments from South West England and Wales to access sporting opportunities. The programme offers grants up to £5,000 to support sporting activities, sporting equipment, or costs towards achieving a physical challenge. Both individuals and organisations are eligible to apply, with individuals required to be part of a sports club, sporting pathway, or linked to a National Governing Body. Organisations must operate for the benefit of disabled groups and be not-for-profit entities engaged in providing sporting activities for people with physical disabilities or visual impairments. Eligible costs include new equipment and kit specifically for disability sport, training courses (with long-term sustainability demonstrated), sport projects, and sporting challenge-related expenses including travel, equipment, sustenance, and accommodation. Recipients are expected to complete monitoring forms showing progress, including sharing good news stories, photographs, press coverage, and case studies.
