Recreation Grants

How do you spend your spare time?

Do you have a hobby or are you passionate about disability sport or disability arts?

Whatever your situation.....age, ability or condition.....there are opportunities for extra funding to help make the most of your activities and leisure time.

It doesn't matter whether you are looking for a place on the 2012 Paralympics squad or just want the chance to improve your fitness and have fun!

There are grants for individuals to fund specialist sports equipment such as sports wheelchairs, training and transport to sporting events.

And.....Extra funding for local sports clubs to improve facilities and increase disabled participation.

In the lead up to the Olympic Games, sports funding has increased substantially, as it is recognised that this is a once in a lifetime opportunity to leave a lasting sporting legacy for future generations.

The Olympic Games has also inspired funding for the arts with special commissions for disabled artists.

Information on grants for other activities can be found on other web pages:

• Grants for Computer and Assistive Technology - for adapted equipment for Playstations,, media entertainment and computer games

• Grants for Holidays- for outdoor and adventure activities

The Lord Taverners are the UK's leading youth cricket and disability sport charity.

Through their Disability Sports Programme the Lord Taverners provide grants towards sports and recreation equipment.

They part fund distinctive green mini buses for young people with physical and/or learning disabilities to provide vital transportation. These become the property of the organisation and may be standard or wheelchair accessible mini-buses.

At present they are focusing on providing funding for schools, clubs and other organisations that support disabled young people under 25 years looking for grants towards sensory, soft play and outdoor play equipment.

To increase sports participation they provide help towards the purchase of manual sports wheelchairs through their Sports Wheelchair Sponsorship Scheme and Multi Sports Wheelchair Scheme. Applications should be submitted by a recognised sports club, sports body or school on behalf of the individual.
