Sport for Change Grants
The Sport Development Team, in partnership with the Gannochy Trust is excited to bring this funding opportunity to our PACES clubs and Community Sport Hubs for a third year. With up to £1000 per project available, the purpose of the funding is to start, or continue projects, that enable an inclusive and welcoming environment for all, alongside achieving a wider social outcome.
Congratulations to all of the clubs chosen for a Sport for Change Grant, awarded in March 2024. We were particularly interested in funding projects that engage adult women in sports participation, coaching and/or volunteering. This is because our data captured from PACES clubs across Perth & Kinross shows that women's participation in sport as well as in sports coaching positions, compared to men, is at a much lower level. We are delighted so many clubs have chosen to focus on this.
