Funding & Support from your Community Foundation
Grants are available across Shropshire and Telford & Wrekin!
The Fund aims to strengthen the achievements, prompted by the Games, offering community organisations access to new funding to make a difference for the people they work with. The Fund will serve as a catalyst to address inequalities, forging deeper connections between individuals and organisations to continue the legacy of the Games.
This Fund shares the four original core mission principles of the Commonwealth Games:
- Bringing people together
- Improving health and well-being
- Helping the region to grow
- Putting the region on the map
Grants will be available for works, activities and services that will contribute to the four core missions, and which fall within one or more of the following three themes:
- Physical activity and sport
