Funding for grassroots sports clubs in the borough
Redcar & Cleveland Borough Council want to support existing grassroots sports clubs in our borough.
Community sport is more than just the game; it's an investment in the health, resilience, and future of our communities.
Sport promotes healthy living, it has the power to bring people together, fostering relationships, and transforming lives for the better.
Sports clubs are the backbone of local communities, providing opportunities for residents to be active.
The sector has faced significant challenges over the last four years but has remained a vital source of support for local communities. The council therefore wants to provide investment into local sports clubs
The programme will aim to achieve the following broad objectives
• Provide sustainability by ensuring our clubs have fit for purpose facilities to remain in existence for many years to come
• To increase participation in sport, improving the mental and physical health of participants
• Work with clubs operating in deprived areas to boost participation in these places
• To deliver improved access to sport facilities for women and girls (100% equal access), and other under-represented groups, to increase participation in these groups.
