External Funding - Grants

As well as our own grants, we encourage you to take advantage of other External Funding Sources. External Funding is money that has been awarded by an organisation like the Big Lottery or a charitable trust. Generally, external funding is awarded for specific projects, programmes, new initiatives or developments.

Please find the following suggestions of other organisations you may like to consider when seeking funding. The Council encourages you to take advantage of online giving and post information of your projects on the various sites.

If you are seeking funding to help increase physical activity and engagement in sport activities amongst people with disabilities, please see our helpful Excel funding database containing a list of external opportunities.
