Non-profit organisations can apply for up to £500 to fund sport, dance or physical-activity sessions.

We are not currently accepting new applications to the Enabling Active Communities grant.

If you would like to discuss how the Active Lifestyles team can support you to develop your project in the meantime, please contact sport@cambridge.gov.uk.

The sessions must take place in Cambridge. They must benefit the health and wellbeing of the local community.

You can use the grant to support existing activities or to set up new ones. You can use it to pay for:

• hiring a venue
• paying a coach or instructor

You cannot use the grant to pay for one-off activities or day trips.

To qualify for a grant, you must have:

• an insurance policy and risk assessment
• a bank account in your group or organisation’s name
• appropriate qualifications to deliver the sessions
• a safeguarding policy if young people aged under 18 can attend the sessions
• a vulnerable-adults policy if older or vulnerable adults can attend the sessions

Examples of groups that can apply for the grant include:

• faith groups
• Girlguiding or Scouts groups
• minority ethnic groups
• resident groups
• support groups
• youth clubs
