Return to Play open funds

Sport England have launched a new open fund called Return to Play.

There are three parts to this new fund – Small Grants and the Community Asset Fund, which have been adapted from pre-coronavirus funds, and Active Together crowdfunding, which has been extended – with all three now focusing on a safe return to play and narrowing the inequalities gap in sport and physical activity.

They’ll do this by supporting groups and organisations working with Black, Asian and minority ethnic groups, people on lower incomes, those disproportionately affected financially as a result of the pandemic, Disabled people and people with long-term health conditions, and those experiencing a greater burden of care responsibilities since the pandemic began.

There is also a new Fund Finder tool, designed to help organisations find the most appropriate fund for their project.
