Key Information: Social enterprises and national organisations are not eligible.
The Suffolk Sports Fund supports charitable, voluntary and community groups providing opportunities for people who struggle to access mainstream sporting activities because of disability, isolation, disadvantage or similar barriers. Its aim is to increase participation in sport at grassroots level and improve the lives of people living or working in Suffolk through better access to physical activity.
Suffolk Community Foundation delivers the fund in partnership with Suffolk County Council, Suffolk’s Borough and District Councils, and businesses. The programme recognises the positive effects of sport and physical activity as part of a healthy lifestyle, with a particular focus on people excluded from sport through disadvantage.
