GLA Grants – Stronger Communities Fund
Project Criteria
You can apply for grants of between £2,000 and £10,000, and we are interested in funding a range of grant sizes.
All successful projects will need to be delivered between November 2020 and February 2021. All project activity must be completed by 14 February 2021 and final reports submitted by 1 March 2021.
We will fund project delivery taking place both online and in-person, but we would like to see the majority of the funding being used to deliver in-person socially distanced sport and physical activities.
Applicants will need to show how they will deliver against the latest government guidelines, and what robust social distancing and safeguarding measures they have in place. These resources are available to help you develop your project:
- Sports Unites Socially Distanced Sport Toolkit
- Mayor of London / London Sport ‘Talking COVID-19 and Sport’ webinar on Socially Distanced Sport
- London Sport COVID-19 sport-specific guidance published by National Governing Bodies (NGBs)
- Sport England ‘Return to Play’ resources including inclusion and accessibility guidelines
- Public Health England (PHE) COVID-19 guidance
