Barclays, in partnership with Sported, has launched a new £1.4 million fund to make sport more accessible at grassroots level.

The Fund will award small grants of £1,000 to community groups and sports clubs working to make football, cricket, and tennis more accessible to women and girls in deprived or underrepresented areas across the UK.

This includes people with disabilities, from racially diverse communities and from the LGBTQ+ community.

Grants of up to £200 are also available for football, cricket, and tennis coaching courses to help increase the number of female coaches delivering sport to girls.

This funding replaces the Barclays Community Football Fund.

The closing date for applications is Sunday 22 June 2025 but the fund may close earlier if a high volume of eligible applications is received.
