Sports Unlimited Funding

The sports unlimited grant is funding targeted for children and young people, which are semi sporty or non-sporty people.
Semi Sporty would be defined as ‘people who are interested in sport, but don’t interact in sport in the community or at a club.’
The idea of the sports unlimited grant is to provide support to local sports providers to run a 10 week taster course that encourages children and young people to participate in sport in there community or nearby club. Sport England is aiming to target 900,000 youngsters to participate in the sports unlimited scheme and a third of which (300,000) would hopefully commit to their chosen sport. Majority of the programmes been funded so far are mainly based around Malton, Norton and Pickering but several activities have been delivered in rural areas such as Gillamoor.
