Aspire North Northants are holding a Funding Fair across February and March 2025, with a great line up of Funders.
The workshops will take place both online and in person at venues across North Northants.
Although the Funding Fair is primarily for voluntary and community groups in North Northants, colleague organisations in West Northants are welcome to join the Online Funder sessions!
Sport England has a pot of funding called the Movement Fund, which is aimed at getting people from priority audiences more active.
The Movement Fund offers various opportunities to access up to £15,000 to cover various costs and items to help deliver positive change in your community.
This may interest you directly or an organisation you work with or know.
So, join Northamptonshire Sport as we explore crowdfunding pledges, grants, and support to help projects that get more people active. If you’re eligible and your project aligns with the funding goals, you could be eligible to receive a grant.
They will also examine how the Sport England funding can support underserved communities through direct financing and offer crowdfunding support to all organisations and communities.
Throughout November, you can join them for a webinar or via 1-2-1 sessions online or in person in Kettering and Northampton.
During the 1-2-1 session, they can look over your application, help shape an application or offer to receive guidance on the governance required for larger projects, advice on crowdfunding, and a chance to discuss other funding. Please note that football only projects are not eligible to apply.
