This grant programme offers small grants to support the sustainability of community sports clubs and organisations in the UK and Ireland.

Small grants of £2,000, funded by Flutter Entertainment and delivered by Sported, offers community groups the opportunity to access unrestricted funding to improve facilities, buy new equipment, gain coaching qualifications and invest in the sustainability of their club.

The 2025 programme is focused on supporting adult clubs and supports groups that deliver activities to over-18s only.

They want to reach clubs in most need and, as such, prioritise groups working in areas of high deprivation and engaging adults from specific under-represented groups. These groups include women, people from racially-diverse communities, people with disabilities and people from the LGBTQ+ community.

The funding will be unrestricted but with an outcome of increasing participation, meaning clubs are able to decide how best to use the grant to engage more adults from their local communities.  

Applicants must be either registered charities, community interest companies or clubs with a structured governance and constitution.

The funding should be spent within a six month period, to allow for assessment and reporting on impact.

For any questions about applications or about support required in order to apply, email grants@sported.org.uk. 

The closing date for applications is the Monday 8 December 2025

The Sported team will be in touch by the end of January 2026 to advise if applications have been successful, or to request further information.
