Cash4Clubs 2024

Cash4Clubs is a small grants scheme set up in 2008 to support local sports clubs. Distributing around £5million so far, the programme has generated positive impacts for hundreds of thousands of people across the UK and Ireland.

Sported is delighted to team up with Cash4Clubs to deliver another round of funding in 2024. Grants of £2000 (€2000 in Ireland) are available this autumn for community organisations working with adults from under-represented communities, delivering sport or physical activity for social purpose. 

The 2024 programme is exclusively focused on supporting adult clubs. We want to offer funding to groups that deliver activities to over 18s only, with an emphasis on 18–25 year olds. The funding will be unrestricted but with an outcome of increasing participation, meaning clubs are able to decide how best to use the grant to engage more adults from their local communities.  

Who can apply?

Cash4Clubs is funded by Flutter UK & Ireland, part of Flutter Entertainment, the global sports betting, gaming and entertainment provider. For this reason, groups must solely be delivering activities to adults (18+) to be eligible for funding.  We will prioritise applications focused on 18-25 year olds.  You cannot apply if your organisation or club runs junior activities.

We welcome applications from not-for-profit organisations, including charities, community groups and traditional sports clubs. To be eligible for funding, applicants must be either registered charities or clubs with a structured governance and constitution.

Applicants must demonstrate that they are using sport for a wider social purpose with a goal to increase participation of adults from under-represented groups. We are particularly interested in submissions from groups working in areas of high deprivation.
