We have to decide which projects to prioritise because we receive more applications than we can fund. Our 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 .

We will also prioritise projects that give opportunities to people who typically have had fewer chances to be active. You might get a grant or a crowdfunding pledge We decide which type of funding to offer you based on your application. We give you money to help you deliver your project.
