British Wrestling are working with Sport England to expand support to the grassroots wrestling community in England. Below is the application form for applying for support from the Together Fund.
British Wrestling are looking for applications from organisations/clubs who are continuing to assist their local communities in becoming active by working with our key priority groups (listed below).
Proposals will be reviewed against the following guiding principles. Please bear these in mind when you are submitting your application.
- How will this investment impact upon one of our priority audiences?
- Low socioeconomic groups
- Culturally diverse groups
- Female participants
- What is the urgent need for this project? Has it arisen due to a direct result of Covid-19 and/or the cost of living crisis?
- How will this investment help a community organisation to survive and/or connect to one or more of our priority audiences to keep them involved in sport?
- Will the project be actively running activities aimed at getting people active from the priority groups mentioned above?
The fund is restricted to clubs based in England only. The maximum amount a club can apply for is £5000. We have limited funds so we can only support projects on a first come basis. The funds will be released in two stages, first payment will be upon approval of the project. The second payment will go out upon receipt of data on the project. The deadline for applications is midnight on the 28th February 2023.
We will also be hosting open calls to answer any questions you may have about the projects and application process. Please email amichaelas@britishwrestling.org with the date you would like to join and you’ll be added to the call.
