Active Communities Grant

We are offering small pots of funding, up to £500, to help spark ideas that get Doncaster residents out and about, especially those who face barriers to being active.

About the Grants

We believe that when people move more, communities thrive. When communities thrive, more people get moving. That’s why we’re offering small pots of funding, up to £500 to help spark ideas that get Doncaster residents out and about, especially those who face barriers to being active. We’re looking for creative, community-powered ideas that:

  • Help inactive people, families, or those on low incomes get moving.

  • Bring people together; building relationships, sharing skills, and making the most of local spaces.

  • Try something new, fun and sustainable.

  • Make good use of what’s already in the community; people, places and passion.

Who Can Apply

  • Not-for profit voluntary or community organisations

  • Registered charities

  • Faith-based organisations

  • Not-for profit companies, community interest companies or social enterprises

  • Schools

  • Individuals or informal groups

What You Can Apply For

The grant can be used to pay for the following costs but is not limited to:

  • Room hire for physical activity sessions

  • Equipment

  • Training and development opportunities

When is the deadline to submit applications?

Anytime! There’s no deadline. We review applications monthly, so yours will be looked at in the next panel after you submit.
