Sport England - Volunteer funding for young people.
What's the purpose of these funds?
Our Potentials Fund targets young people aged 10-20 years who want to give their time, while our Opportunity Fund is designed to attract those aged 20 and above from disadvantaged communities.
Both are supporting projects for groups where we’ve identified significant untapped potential. We know that those with lower household incomes, young people, women, disabled people, and Black, Asian and minority ethnic communities are currently less likely to volunteer in sport, yet they’re often keen volunteers in other sectors such as religion or education.
We want to see how we can use sport or physical activity to fulfil their motivations. In turn, communities will see an even greater benefit when there are more volunteers from their own neighbourhood.
