Community: Children’s Alliance

Non-profit organisations, including schools and registered charities, can apply for grants up to £15,000 to support water-based projects for disadvantaged children under 18. These initiatives aim to enhance physical and mental well-being by providing access to aquatic environments and addressing concerns that over a million pupils may leave school unable to swim 25 metres unaided.

The grant, offered by the Children’s Alliance, seeks to fund grassroots projects such as swimming lessons, hydrotherapy sessions, provision of swimwear and surf therapy, etc.

Applications are accepted twice annually, in September and March.
