Introduction
Live Active Sport in partnership with The Gannochy Trust are pleased to offer grants to help our local sports clubs, community sport hubs and sports organisations to start, or continue projects that enable an inclusive and welcoming environment for all.

The aim of the funding is to address inequalities that prevent local people accessing quality sport and physical activity opportunities. Furthermore, we are looking for projects that can also achieve wider social outcomes. We expect that these outcomes will be achieved through a 'changing lives' approach - in collaboration with partner organisations / groups, in order to meet local need.

Here is a resource that explains the Changing Lives Approach further

We welcome applicants to get in touch with us to have a discussion about your project idea and where the Sport Development team can assist with linking up with partners and other sources of support.
