Cash 4 Clubs

CASH 4 CLUBS , a scheme that gives money to grassroots sport, has announced it is to award significant grants to community sports clubs for a second consecutive year and has extended the scheme nationwide. Clubs and associations from across the UK are invited to apply for the free funding, with the first window for applications now open.

The initiative, funded by Betfair, the UK's largest online betting company, and in partnership with SportsAid, seeks to provide much-needed money for clubs involved in any sport. In 2008 over £30,000 was distributed to 30 sports organisations in specific regions across the UK, but the scheme is now being opened-up to clubs in all areas of the country.

Awards of up to £1,000 are made on a quarterly basis. Grants can be used to improve facilities, purchase new equipment and generally invest in the sustainability of their club.
