The Sports Council Trust Company
At a glance
Key takeaways
- The Sports Council Trust Company fits a not-for-profit that supports the sporting activities of disadvantaged people, such as young people, people with disabilities, lower socio-economic groups or ethnic minority groups, and wants to encourage participation, subsidise the cost of taking part, or provide facilities and equipment.
- Organisations whose sport work does not reach these groups fall outside its stated eligibility and should not apply.
- Its stated priority is the UK, and it accepts applications on a rolling basis, so you can apply at any time.
- The annual report gives £10,000 awarded in total and does not state a grant range, so keep any request modest and tie it to a clear, specific cost.
- The information available does not say how competitive the funder is or whether relationships matter, so do not assume either.
