As part of the Olympic legacy and in the build up to the London 2012 Games, Wychavon District Council could have a fantastic funding opportunity for you!
Working with the Sports Partnership Herefordshire and Worcestershire, Wychavon have been successful in attracting a 2nd year of Sport England ‘Sportivate’ funding.
£8,500 has been set aside for sport clubs, schools, youth clubs, uniformed groups and other community organisations to run sports projects from April 2012 to March 2013
To qualify for the funding the sports projects must target residents aged between 14 and 25 in the Wychavon area. They must also offer six weeks of high quality sports and activity sessions that will inspire teenagers and young adults to want to sign up and commit to more sport in the future.
This programme is all about choice, a choice to try something different and give it a go. Sports and activities on offer in year 1 included Equestrian, Bell-boating, Zumba, Windsurfing, Ice Skating and Curling plus many more.
Mark Williams, Sports Development Officer, said: “We recognise the valuable contribution that sporting activities can bring to the health and wellbeing of the community. We also recognise that funding may be an issue in creating new and innovative sports projects. So if you have an exciting project that fits the bill then this could be the ideal opportunity for you to get it up and running.”
If you have a project in mind and would like more information then please contact Laura Barnard before the 2nd Dec 2011 to receive an expression of interest form.
