Funding available: various
Focus: Participation
Funding Cycle: Deadline 25th November and 16th December 2011
Sportivate is a nationwide campaign that will capture the excitement of the London 2012 Games by providing opportunities for teenagers and young adults (aged 14-25) to receive coaching in a sport of their choice and guide them into regular participation within their community.
Sportivate is targeting those aged 14-25 who may not seek out sporting opportunities themselves and would not prioritise doing sport in their own time or those who are doing sport for a very limited amount of time. These participants might be described as the ‘semi-sporty’.
Sportivate in Bucks
Sportivate in Bucks mission is to use the Sportivate campaign to ensure that more teenagers and young adults have the opportunity to find a sports activity that is attractive, affordable and accessible to them, with the ultimate aim of supporting them into life-long participation.
Bucks Sport have a target of retaining 3,645, 14–25 year olds in 6-8 weeks of activity designed to engage, motivate and retain them. To help us achieve this, we have been awarded nearly £400,000 of Lottery Funding over 4 years.
