The Barclays Community Football Fund has evolved into The Barclays Community Sports Fund and has re-opened for applications.
 
Up to £1k grants for community groups and clubs are available to help sustain and increase access to football for women and girls (as well as engage people from other underrepresented groups, such as disabled people, those from racially diverse communities and those from the LGBTQ+ community).
 
Funding is also available for football, tennis, and cricket coaching courses to help increase the number of female coaches delivering sport to girls.
 
Disability football applications do not have to be female specific, mixed provision is also eligible for the fund. However given the female priority of the fund, it is advisable to ensure applicants make it clear that females will benefit from the project.
 
The fund opened on 22 April and will close on 22 June. The fund may close earlier than this is it becomes heavily over-subscribed so please encourage early applications from your clubs / leagues whether that be to support team or sessional based activity.
