Key takeaways

If your work gets people in Gloucester moving, or reduces the barriers that stop them, it fits what Active Gloucestershire says it funds, which is locally led physical activity.
The one stated grant figure is up to £500 through its Neighbourhood Fund, so a small, specific request is the realistic size, and no overall grant range is published.
No application process is published, so contact Active Gloucestershire using the contact shown in its annual report or on its website before you write anything.
The Neighbourhood Fund is described as being for Gloucester residents and grassroots groups, so groups working outside Gloucester should check this before applying.
