Suitability checker

Applying to the Movement Fund

Welcome to the suitability checker – your tool to check if your project aligns with the goals of the Movement Fund.

This short quiz is here to make things easier for you. Just answer a few simple questions and we'll let you know if your project is likely to meet our criteria for funding.

If your project isn’t suitable, we’ll provide links to resources that could offer further assistance and funding. If you're suitable to apply for funding, we'll direct you to our application page.

Throughout the process, we've included contact details in case you have any questions for us.

Your answers are saved if you want to come back and complete the tool later, you can also move back and forth in the tool to see what you need to do to meet our criteria and you can reset the tool to start again if needs be.

Our aim is to ensure that your project is on the right track to create a positive impact in your community.

Let's get started

The Movement Fund supports projects that promote physical activity, including active travel, walking, cycling, dance, fitness, and sporting activities.

However, there are certain things we don't fund:

• High-risk activities or sports: unless the organisation or coaches are affiliated to the relevant, recognised national governing body
• Artistic dance activities: where the main purpose is for artistic or performance purposes
• Children under five years old: we don't fund projects benefiting children under five years old, unless they're part of a larger project primarily benefiting those aged five years or older
• Statutory responsibilities: We don't cover costs for activities that are statutory responsibilities, such as curriculum time delivery in schools.

Occasionally we fund other physical activities but only where they are part of a project that supports a recognised sport or activity.
