Grants of £10,000 to £100,000 available through Comic Relief Sport for Change

Comic Relief's Sport for Change programme was developed to support a range of innovative projects that are using sport as a tool for making a real difference in the communities in which they are based. The programme aims to develop an understanding about how sport can play a part in delivering positive change within the lives of individuals and communities.

Grants are available for projects to deliver a coordinated approach to a social issue or concern that supports or links to sporting activity. This might be workshops, educational sessions, awareness raising, work experience, volunteering, or mentoring.
