Peter Harrison Foundation: Opportunities through Sport
Description
The Trustees wish to support sporting activities or projects which provide opportunities for people who are disabled or otherwise disadvantaged to fulfill their potential and to develop other personal and life skills. Grants will often be one-off grants for capital projects. In some cases funding will be allocated to 'new' revenue projects or to projects where funding would be key to their continuation.
Eligible activity
Eligible projects will provide a focus for skill development and confidence building through the medium of sport, projects that have a strong training and/or educational theme within the sporting activity, projects that provide sporting equipment or facilities for disabled or disadvantaged people, projects with a high degree of community involvement and projects that involve children and young people at risk of crime, truancy or addiction.
Exclusions
The foundation do not fund general fundraising appeals, requests for retrospective funding, individuals, outdoor activity projects such as camping and outward bound expeditions, holidays or expeditions in the UK or abroad, other grant making bodies to make grants on the Foundation's behalf and projects that that directly replace statutory funding.
Available funding
Not specified.
Who can apply
Applications are accepted from charities through the United Kingdom.
Deadlines
There are no specific deadlines. The foundation's financial year runs between 1 June - 31 May and the panel meets regularly during this period.
