Everybody Foundation (Everybody Health and Leisure) Grants

Everybody Foundation Club and Organisation Grants

Everybody Foundation (Everybody Health and Leisure)

The Everybody Foundation offers Club and Organisation Grants of up to £500 to local clubs and community organisations. The grants help groups facing short-term challenges or pressures, so that young people can keep taking part in sport, physical activity and wellbeing. You can use the funding for hardship funds for young people, essential equipment or replacement items, and costs that help keep activities running, safe and accessible. The Foundation says this route is designed to respond quickly and practically to real-world challenges. One past example is Macclesfield Boys Boxing Club, which used a grant to replace worn, unsafe punch bags. The grants must benefit young people under 18, or under 25 if they have special educational needs or a disability (SEND). The Foundation currently focuses on applications from local sporting organisations. If you want to create or top up a hardship fund, your club or organisation must be based in Cheshire East. You apply online. The Foundation's Trustees meet quarterly to review and score applications, and grants go to the highest-scoring applications until the funds are committed. The Foundation aims to contact you within one week of the Trustees meeting. Keep in mind that successful applicants are asked to provide proof of purchase or a short update afterwards. If your application succeeds, you can apply once per financial year. If it does not, you can reapply with more information. The Foundation is funded through community fundraising and donations. It also runs separate routes for individual support and a larger annual Impact Grant, so make sure you choose the correct route when you apply.
