Supporting more people to move more.
The heart of all sport and physical activity is in our local clubs, community groups and activity providers. The past few covid years have had a terrible impact on sports clubs and people participating in sport in general. This has had a negative impact on both people’s physical health and their mental wellbeing.
We know lots of clubs and groups have had trouble attracting as many participants since. Some extra financial support could encourage people to come back. It may even mean welcoming new members.
With this in mind, we have introduced a refreshed funding stream. It is called ‘Back to Sport 2’. It is a part of our Torbay on the Move initiative for 2024/25. Awards of up to £2,500 are possible to help widen provision of clubs and groups. It will mean being able to offer new sessions for participants that wouldn’t normally join.
We want to support the health and wellbeing of people in general. We want to enable people who wouldn’t normally turn to physical activity and sport. This will in turn improve their overall wellbeing. Both physical and mental. The focus on inclusivity of Back to Sport 2 shows our commitment to doing this.
We want to support projects that bring a community together. We want to provide opportunities for people who may be less physically active.
We want organisations to consider how they could work together across the community. We want to do it this way to make the biggest possible impact.
Funds are available for project costs such as:
Funds will not support capital improvements.
Our priority is to support projects working with people from our disadvantaged communities. A disadvantaged community can be a community facing socio-economic disadvantage. We want to help groups of people who face hurdles when looking at doing physical activity and sporting opportunities.
