Funding for courses

Community Chest:

This is a National Lottery funded grant aid scheme. It is designed to encourage more people to become more physically active more often. The maximum grant is £1,000 in any 12 month period.

IMPORTANT CHANGES TO NOTE: There have been some changes to the Community Chest Application Pack from 1st April 2007 - you can download a leaflet here.

Purpose of the Scheme:

The main purpose of the scheme is to support good projects which will create new or improved sport and physical activity opportunities. The scheme is intended to support activities which:

• encourage more people to become more physically active more often;
  
• encourage volunteers and community champions by developing new sport and physical activity leaders, sports coaches and officials.

Who is Eligible ? - Organisations can apply, provided they have a bank or building society account in the name of the organisation. Primary schools can benefit from Dragon Sport if they choose, so they are not eligible to receive funding through Community Chest.

How do I apply ? - Contact your nearest Sports Council for Wales regional office who will provide you with the contact details of your local Community Chest Grants Officer.
