SPORTS GRANTS FOR LOCAL PEOPLE AND ORGANISATIONS
Small Sports Grants for local community groups

Westway Development Trust's Small Sports Grants Scheme assists local community organisations (particularly small groups) with their activities. Grants should make a significant contribution to a particular small-scale activity, however, grants will not be given to pay off deficits.

The Trust has set aside £5,000 for Small Sports Grants to local community organisations and groups in 2008/09 and the maximum grant for an organisation is normally £500 per year.
Groups applying for a grant must:
a) Be a charity
b) Serve residents of the borough of Kensington & Chelsea
c) Be unlikely to get a grant elsewhere
d) Agree to report on the use of any grant made by the Trust

HOW TO APPLY:

There is no application form, but, with your letter of application please give a brief outline of the project or item(s) for which the Grant is required, making clear who will benefit. Contact John O'Brien for further details CLICK HERE
