Sporting Heritage Grants

Please note the deadline for this programme has been extended to the 23rd October at 5pm. 

As the subject specialist network for sporting heritage in the UK, we have a commitment within our delivery objectives to support a small annual community grant giving programme. In the light of Covid 19, although funding is tight, we feel it’s important to ensure we still deliver this scheme, albeit at a lower level than previous years.

As a result, we launch our 2020 programme in support of this year’s National Sporting Heritage Day, to shine a light on the importance of continuing and sharing community sporting heritage to meet wider agendas such as health and wellbeing and community cohesion.

This funding will support increased engagement to local collections which tell the story and stories of sporting activity, heroes, and endeavour. As always, we have a particular focus on sharing hidden histories and engaging non-traditional audiences.
