Kent Community Foundation is pleased to have teamed up with Made By Sport to offer sports clubs and organisations in Kent and Medway the opportunity to apply for a grant to support young people as they start to recover from the effects of the latest lockdown
The coronavirus pandemic has had a significant impact on young people across the UK, and thanks to Made By Sport, Community Foundations across the UK will be able to offer sports clubs and organisations access to vital funding from the Clubs in Crisis fund.
Josephine McCartney, Chief Executive, Kent Community Foundation, said, “Kent Community Foundation is delighted to be administering the new Clubs in Crisis fund on behalf of Made By Sport. The fund will open for applications on Monday 12 for unrestricted grants of £2021. We would love to hear from clubs and community organisations using sport to improve young people’s lives through one or more of the following means: developing life skills, building strong communities, improving mental health, developing employability skills or reducing crime and anti-social behaviour.”
Made By Sport is a charity which raises awareness of the power of sport and funding for organisations that use sport to support young people across the UK. The ‘Clubs In Crisis’ fund is part of a wider campaign that believes sport is the best vehicle for creating societal change for young people across a myriad of challenges they face in the modern world.
