The Children's Alliance: Water-Based Projects Supporting Disadvantaged Children

he Children's Alliance has introduced a grant to enhance children's physical and mental well-being through water-based activities. 

Non-profit organisations, including schools, registered charities, community interest companies, and community groups, are invited to apply for funding up to £15,000, with most grants awarded being under £10,000. 

The grant aims to support grassroots initiatives that provide disadvantaged children under 18 with access to water environments, fostering essential life skills and confidence. 

Eligible projects may include swimming lessons, hydrotherapy sessions, surf therapy, and the provision of swimwear or transport to aquatic activities. Applications can be made twice per year in September and March.
