The aim of this grant programme is to support local provision that helps people to access community sports and physical activity. Our definition of community sports and physical activity is broad and inclusive; eligible ways to get your community active include seated keep-fit, cricket, Nordic walking, running clubs, football, wheelchair sport clubs, tai chi, rugby, movement or dance sessions for preschoolers, sport for a community of interest, yoga, dance, netball, and table tennis… to name just a few ideas (please note that these are examples and not a definitive list).

‘Get Active, Get Involved’ offers 12-month grants of between £1,000-£3,500 for nonprofit community organisations. The fund will only make grants to organisations based in AND supporting work within Hampshire, Portsmouth, Southampton, and the Isle of Wight.

HIWCF: ‘Get Active, Get Involved’ is administered by HIWCF and supports our impact theme around ‘health and wellbeing’. This grant programme continues the legacy of the ‘Hampshire Playing Fields Fund’.
