Tyne and Wear Club Funding Support

Tyne & Wear Sport are offering some  financial support to clubs in Tyne and Wear. They have chosen to focus specifically on two areas of funding which will provide clubs with the opportunity to increase and retain new participants and improve the current situation within their club.
Grants of between £100 and £500 will be available with a specific focus on providing clubs with the opportunity to purchase;

• Equipment - for example, balls, bibs, tennis racquets, mats; this does not include team strips or match balls

In order to apply clubs must be CAPs accredited or 'actively' working towards accreditation and affiliated to England Netball. Projects must have a specific focus on increasing participation within a club and be able to show how the funding will enhance the quality and quantity of sporting provision on offer.
All applications must be able to clearly provide the following information;

• Background information on the club i.e. current membership, age groups etc.
