Summary: The focus is on people who face barriers to activity and projects designed to help them join in.

Who can apply? The Movement Fund is for not-for-profit organisations, such as:

• sports clubs
• community groups
• charities
• local authorities
• not-for-profit companies
• schools – where the project will benefit the wider community.

What will it fund? Priority is to support projects that match our goal of getting more people active, reducing the number of inactive people and tackling long-standing inequalities. The fund will support projects which:

• Set up new experiences or activity sessions for people to get involved.
• Help improve, or create new spaces for people to be active in – or providing the equipment they need to do the activity.
• Improve both environmental sustainability and providing physical activity opportunities.
• Support organisations to build their capacity and capability so they can help the people in their community to be active.
• Respond to emergencies that impact on people taking part in physical activity, and helping get activity happening again.

Projects can run for up to 12 months
