The NSF has three priority funding themes:
• Fit for Sport – projects to improve both physical and human infrastructure for community clubs. This will include investing in clubs, coaches and volunteers in local communities
• 2012 Kids – building on the success of the Olympics, projects to encourage children and young people to take up sport; and
• Women into Sport – projects to increase female participation in sport, including providing coaching and support for female teams
In addition to this the National Sports Foundation will only consider match funding projects which deliver one or more of the following outcomes:
• Increased participation in sporting activity,
• Increased club membership
• Increased numbers of qualified and active coaches delivering instruction in sport
• Increased numbers of active volunteers supporting community sport
Applications should aim to demonstrate how they impact on Sport England’s ‘Grow, Sustain and Excel’ outcomes as outlined in Sport England’s 2008-2011 Strategy. The strategy can be down loaded from Sport England’s website: www.sportengland.org
