MSP are working with Sport England on the Tackling Inequalities funding programme, which will support people in the four priority groups across Merseyside to be more active with the additional challenges faced due to Covid-19.
This funding will support organisations in the community for ‘here and now’, so that they have a future to plan for, and could support one or both of the following objectives:

You can see some examples from our partners in receipt of this funding here.
If you would be interested in applying for this fund then please read the Funding Guidance document (including minimum governance standards required) below and return the application form to sport@merseysidesport.com by 12pm Monday 18th January 2021.
Applications will be reviewed by MSP on a case by case basis as and when they come in, before being submitted to Sport England for final approval. We expect application numbers to be high and therefore we will not be able to fund all projects. We might need to close to new applications early if our initial budget allocation is met, therefore we encourage you to submit your applications early.
If you have previously received Tackling Inequalities Funding from us or another partner, please speak to us before applying.
If you are in need of greater financial support, you may be interested in applying for Sport England’s Return to Play fund.
