SPORT UNLIMITED
******* YEAR 3 FUNDING NOW AVAILABLE *******
INTRODUCTION
Sport Unlimited is a successful
national programme funded by Sport England and aimed at
getting more children and young people to take part in sport
outside school time.
In Surrey,
there is a total of £160,000 available for Year 3 of Sport
Unlimited (1st April 2010 to 31 March 2011). Funding is
available to non-profit making organisations including schools,
youth groups, clubs, voluntary organisations, local authorities and
sports governing bodies.
Sport
Unlimited funding is targeted at
"semi-sporty" 5-19 year olds living in Surrey's 11
boroughs & districts. It will engage them in
an extra 1-2 hours a week (minimum 10 weeks) of high quality sport
and physical activity.
In Year 2 (2009-10), grants were awarded
to 75% of applicants and ranged from £500 to
£5,000. As a result of
receiving their grant, organisations were able to offer new
activities free of charge or at very low cost to local children and
young people. The diverse range of successful Sport Unlimited
programmes included kayaking, street dance, squash, cricket and
horse riding.
