Barclays Community Sport Fund

Closing date

The Barclays Community Sport Fund supports charities, community groups and grassroots sports organisations who are working within the most deprived and rurally isolated areas of the UK and are making football, tennis, and cricket more accessible to women and girls.

We want to make sure our funding reaches organisations who are providing football, tennis, and cricket activities for people and communities that need support the most.

Groups must meet the following criteria

  • You deliver football, cricket, or tennis activities for women and girls – or are applying for funding to start.
  • You operate in an area of high deprivation. We use the Government Indices of Multiple Deprivation (IMD) to establish eligibility and only organisations located in or supporting people from IMD areas 1-3 are eligible to apply.

You can apply for one grant of £1000 per organisation to support delivery of your football, cricket or tennis activities. 

The fund may close earlier if we receive a large volume of applications.
