Active Lives Projects.

Opportunities through sport and physical activity

• Enabling life-enhancing opportunities for individuals living in the most disadvantaged areas in the UK who encounter physical, mental, social, or economic barriers.  
• Using participation in grassroots sport/physical activity as a catalyst to develop personal and life skills, assisting individuals in discovering and fulfilling their potential.

We fund applications for physical activity initiatives that:  

• Offer high-impact, life-enhancing opportunities for those who live in the top 10% of areas of deprivation  
• Remove barriers to participation for disabled or disadvantaged people   
• Focus on grassroots involvement rather than elite participation in physical activity  
• Focus on skills development and confidence building for individuals  
• Incorporate effective strategies for wider impact, perhaps through training, partnerships and/or dissemination activities  
• Demonstrate a high degree of involvement across the organisation from beneficiaries and those with lived experience  
• Have a well-developed plan for sustainability and seek to deliver a legacy  
• Reflect our values:   Excellence, Entrepreneurship, Integrity, Sustainability

Positive Futures

Opportunities for children and young people

• Enhancing the lives of children and young people living in the most disadvantaged areas in the South East of England who encounter physical, mental, social, or economic barriers.
