Local authorities

Local authorities that wish to apply to this programme need to have a robust needs and evidence base in place (e.g. Playing Pitch Strategy) which underpins the strategic need for their project.

The project should be one of the top investment priorities identified in the published Playing Pitch Strategy.

In addition, there will be demonstrable community engagement and partnership working with local sports associations, leagues and clubs.

The maximum grant available is £50,000 and must be match funded on a minimum £ for £ basis.
