Active4Today launches new online grant application forms

In a commitment to remove barriers to sport and leisure, Active4Today’s Grant Aid scheme has gone digital. Whether you’re a local resident seeking support for sports activities, or an affiliated community sports club dreaming of developing facilities or creating an exciting new programme, you can apply to the scheme from the comfort of your living room. Getting your club’s ambitions funded has never been easier.

The innovative digital platform allows clubs to apply for vital funding anytime - 24 hours a day, seven days a week - from any device.

Active4Today believe sport should be for everyone - no matter your age, ability, or background. Through leisure centres, partner sites, innovative sports programmes, and outreach initiatives, the organisation works tirelessly to champion increased participation and improved health - building stronger communities across the district.

Councillor Andy Freeman, Chair of the Active4Today Board of Directors, said: “This system makes funding more accessible than ever for our local sports clubs. By removing barriers and streamlining the application process, we’re empowering volunteers, athletes, and community organisations to focus on what truly matters - bringing people together through sport and improving health and wellbeing across Newark and Sherwood.”

The Sports Grant programme is a game-changer for the community. It empowers volunteer coaches and officials to achieve formal qualifications from National Governing Bodies, supports talented athletes to access high-quality facilities to smash their goals, provides financial support towards kits for junior and disability teams, and offers vital funding for community events and club development - from upgrading facilities to expanding the clubs sporting offer.

But that’s not all. Active4Today also provides affiliated district-based sports clubs and the Newark and Sherwood Sports Council with a comprehensive suite of sports development support. From guidance on funding applications and help with club accreditation to advancing coaching skills and accessing exclusive workshops and resources, Active4Today is committed to helping clubs thrive.

No matter the size of your club, Active4Today’s sports development team offers personalised guidance and support to help every club reach new heights within the local community.
