  • Grant applications will only be considered from clubs, societies and organisations that are Littlehampton based OR who operate a service in Littlehampton that brings a significant and clear benefit to the town.
  • Applications for individuals are not eligible.
  • The grant should support a need in the community as identified by the Sports Funding Annual Focus and be able to clearly demonstrate how the grant will address that
    need. This may be through coaching, training or equipment costs; start-up costs for a new initiative; a project that increases access and opportunity etc.
  • Grants will not be made towards salaries or payment of staff.
  • Grants will not be provided to cover general building running costs or general maintenance costs.
  • Grants will not be made for retroactive expenses or projects outside of the Annual Focus.
