The Black Country Consortium has launched a ring fenced fund
for local partners to access to deliver projects targeted at female only
participants. The ring fenced fund has been developed in direct response to
Sport England’s popular ‘This Girl Can’ campaign.
The national campaign aims to
get more women and girls aged 14 – 40 regularly exercising or playing sport, by
removing the stereotypes, providing opportunities for women to take part
without fear of judgement. More details on this
campaign can be found at www.thisgirlcan.co.uk
Projects need to target females age 11 to 25 and projects
need to take place in Dudley, Sandwell, Walsall or Wolverhampton.
Organisations don’t need to have previously applied for funding nor have
previous experience of delivering a sport or physical activity session, as
support will be available to develop applications.
A revised application form
is available from contacts below. Funded by Sport
England National Lottery, this is a pilot project that will inform the
delivery of future ‘sportivate’ funding across the Black Country.
Up to
£3,000.00 is available for each project. There is
limited funding available, so get your applications in early.
For
more information please email Jessica Mapp or Joanne Taylor. Or call Jess on 01384 471114.
Please
note - Activity must have finished before
Mid-April
This funding is available to local deliverers who can
provide female only projects and can demonstrate how their project will be
marketed and responds to the needs of women across the Black Country.
