Thanks to funding from London Marathon Foundation, The LGBT+ Fund, powered by Consortium, will be awarding a total of £400,000 over 2 years, to successful applicant organisations and groups working in LGBT+ sports and physical activities across the UK.
The LGBT+ Fund: Get Active Fund responds to the fact that LGBT+ groups delivering sporting and physical activities are under-resourced, facing consistent under-investment and challenges to accessing relevant opportunities. Systemic and social pressures also mean that LGBT+ individuals are more likely to disengage from physical activities in multiple settings, including those intended to be inclusive.
The fund aims to invest much needed resource into community based LGBT+ sports and physical activity-focused organisations and projects across the UK. It will prioritise grassroots groups supporting LGBT+ communities who face additional barriers to participation.
In 2026, organisations can apply for grants of between £5,000 and £25,000 per year for projects lasting 1 or 2 years.
Grants are available for small to medium-sized charities registered and working in the UK that defend human rights and promote respect for vulnerable individuals.
Grants are available for schools and community groups in the UK to increase youth engagement with nature.
Match funding applications welcome from local not-for-profit organisations located or working in the Wakefield district.
