The Barclays Community Sport Fund, delivered in partnership with Sported, supports community groups working to make football, tennis and cricket more accessible to women and girls in areas of high deprivation.
Eligible groups can apply for a £1,000 grant to sustain or expand their activities, and may also receive funding for coaching qualifications to help increase the number of female coaches.
Priority is also given to groups engaging underrepresented communities, including disabled people, racially diverse groups, and the LGBTQ+ community.
Successful applicants gain access to exclusive opportunities such as match tickets, mascot places, and ongoing support.
Applications open on 22 April 2025 and close on 22 June 2025, or earlier if the fund is oversubscribed. Early applications are strongly encouraged.
