Subsidised Football Pitches

This programme gives community groups in North Kensington access to free or subsidised football pitch hours (5-a-side) through a partnership between Westway Trust and Everyone Active.

You can apply if your community group or organisation is based in North Kensington.

Applications will be judged on:

• Diversity of beneficiaries (who the pitch use will reach).
• The positive social impact that would follow from subsidised pitch use.
• Your organisation’s track record in delivering community or sports programmes.

Each organisation may be granted up to 2 hours per week on a 5-a-side pitch.

If you need additional hours or a larger pitch (e.g. 7-a-side, 11-a-side), you would need to arrange and pay for that separately via Everyone Active.

In your application you must propose three deliverables – goals or outcomes tied to your use of the pitch space (for example, increased youth engagement, community cohesion, improving fitness, or reducing social isolation). These deliverables will be used to measure the impact of your pitch-use if your application is successful.

The subsidised period covers 1 April 2025 to 31 March 2026.

Applications opened: 9 am, Monday 3 February 2025

Applications closed: 9 am, Friday 28 February 2025

Panel review date: Thursday 6 March 2025

Outcome notifications: Monday 10 March 2025

As many groups apply for our grants, Westway recognises it may not be possible to grant all requests.

Your application should include strong evidence and detail to help the panel make a decision. They explicitly state that only the information you provide will be considered, so be thorough in your submission.

You may purchase extra hours or a larger pitch directly from Everyone Active (beyond what the subsidised scheme covers).

Yes. You can contact the Westway Trust Grants Team at grants@westway.org if you have questions or require assistance.
