Active Lives funding

Through this programme we made grants totalling about £700,000 per year to charities and CASCs across the UK. Through Active Lives funding we aimed to:  

  • provide opportunities for personal or skills development through participation in physical activity 
  • meet the needs of people living with disabilities and / or living in the most deprived areas 

 

We prioritised applications which: 

  • Provided high-impact, life-enhancing opportunities for those who live in the top 10% of areas of deprivation 
  • Focussed on grassroots involvement rather than elite participation in physical activity 
  • Focussed on providing qualifications, skills development or confidence building for individuals 
  • Incorporated effective strategies for creating a legacy and wider impact, perhaps through training, partnerships and/or dissemination activities 
  • Demonstrated a high degree of beneficiary involvement across the organisation and those with lived experience
