Deadline 2023/12/28 – Energise ME and Sport England – Investing in Communities

Energise Me and Sport England are offering support for Hampshire and Isle of Wight communities most affected by COVID-19 and/or the cost of living crisis. Community groups/organisations can access expertise and funding of up to £10,000.
Physical activity boosts wellbeing and reduces our risk of developing major illnesses by up to 50%. Energise Me and Sport England want everyone to enjoy these benefits. But some communities are less likely to take part in regular physical activity than others. COVID-19 research shows the pandemic has widened these inequalities, and the cost of living crisis is likely to make matters worse.

The Investing in Communities programme helps tackle these inequalities by supporting:

• people from lower-income families
• people from Black, Asian and Minority Ethnic communities
• people living with long-term health conditions
• people with disabilities
