Think Active: Funding Opportunity

Think Active have been successful in their application to Sport England in the Opening School Facilities Fund and now invite schools to apply.

This fund aims to support young people to be active by allowing schools to operate safely, as we transition to recovery and reinventing what sport and activity provision looks like in the future. By helping schools to either re-open or open their sports facilities, we are supporting clubs and groups, some of which have not been able to do anything for almost 12 months, to access local facilities. This will facilitate much needed activities for young people during evenings and weekends.

Funding will be prioritised to:

• Support schools with a high percentage of pupils eligible for free school meals.
• The least active
• Provide opportunities for pupils with SEND to take part in activities. 
• Schools based within Think Active's targeted areas: North Warwickshire, Nuneaton & Bedworth, North Solihull and Coventry. 

However, we do welcome applications from schools outside of our targeted areas as we understand there are pockets of need across Coventry, Solihull and Warwickshire.

The deadline for this application Friday 30 April 2021.
