We fund nearly all types of physical activity
The Movement Fund supports almost every type of physical activity, including:
- active travel
- walking
- cycling
- fitness
- sporting activities
See the full list of recognised sports and activities.
We fund high-risk activities with affiliation
If your project involves any of the high-risk activities (marked with an asterisk on the page linked below), then your organisation and/or coaches must be affiliated with the recognised governing body.
See the full list of high risk activities and their recognised national governing bodies.
Check the rules on football-only projects
We won't fund projects that the Football Foundation can fund.
So, if your project is focused only on football, you should check first if the Football Foundation can fund it.
We can fund your project if football is included as one of the multiple sports you offer.
Check the restrictions on specific activities
We don't fund:
- activities for people outside England
- activities solely for under-fives – though they can join an activity where most of those taking part are over five
- school activities which are only for pupils, or which the school is already funded to deliver
- play equipment – for example, children's playgrounds
- dance, if it's for artistic or performance purposes, rather than getting people active.
