The Northamptonshire Federation of Disability Sport Fund provides grants for sports clubs and organisations within Northamptonshire that offer or wish to offer regular sporting sessions aimed at disabled people, people living with long-term health conditions and mental health conditions.
The fund has been set up by the Northamptonshire Federation of Disability Sport with the aim of increasing the number of disabled people involved in all aspects of sport, recreation and physical activity within Northamptonshire.
Funding Information
- The maximum amount that can be awarded is £500.
- The funding can be used however you see fit, such as capital costs, staff costs, core costs etc., but it must include a clear plan that places disabled people at the heart of the project.
Eligibility Criteria
- Your group must be a small, locally managed VCSE organisation such as a charity, constituted community group, social enterprise such as a Community Interest Company (CIC), or a company limited by guarantee with charitable aims. Please note that as a general exclusion, they do not fund social enterprises that have a person with significant control (PSC).
- Your organisation must be based in Northamptonshire.
- You must have a set of written rules or constitution that your group adheres to, and this must contain a dissolution clause specific to Northamptonshire. They can help advise you on how to do this, especially if you are a new group.
- You must take care to ensure that young people or vulnerable adults taking part in your project do not come to any harm whilst in your care. To this end, you must have written procedures for keeping young people and/or vulnerable people safe otherwise known as a Child Protection or Vulnerable Adults’ policy. This will be needed as a condition of funding.
