Grassroots sports teams and charities can now apply for a slice of £400,000 as Cash4Clubs, led by Flutter UKI, is back for 2024.
The flagship funding programme will help 200 community sports organisations in the UK and Ireland with two months to apply for grants of £2,000.
Launched in 2008, Cash4Clubs has boosted the local sport ecosystem by helping teams develop their facilities, buy new equipment, and drive participation.
Last year's winners included Basa in Rochdale, which runs fitness classes for over-60s women; the Gosport Bowmen archery club in Hampshire; and the London Wheelchair rugby club, who sent four players to Team GB's Paralympics squad in Paris.
Of the clubs awarded funding last year, over 85 per cent said they had been able to deliver more activities - and a total of 9,000 new people aged 18 or over had engaged in health and fitness programmes thanks to the initiative.
Cash4Clubs is back with £400,000 of funding available for sports teams to apply for
Two hundred winning clubs or charities will gain £2,000 to put towards their development
'The stunning success of Team GB at the Paris Olympics and Paralympics once again highlighted the power of sport. We hope Cash4Clubs can play an important part in helping at the grassroots level by enabling small clubs to play an even bigger role in their community,' said Ian Brown, chief executive of betting and gaming group Flutter UKI.
'There are priceless benefits in people trying out a sport for the first time, getting active or having the confidence to take their hobby to the next level. We believe this programme can make a real difference in the areas that need it most.'
One of last year's winners, Welcome House Hull, used the Cash4Clubs grant to help set up Acorn FC, a football team made up exclusively of refugees and kobet asylum seekers. They went on to make history by playing the first competitive match in the UK between asylum seeker teams.
'We formed our football team Acorn FC and with the money from the grant we could be taken seriously as we could practise more, appear more professional, play better,' said Shirley Hart of Welcome House, the charity that established the side.
'We teamed up with Active Through Football and made history by playing the first inter-city asylum seeker competitive football match. We could not have done this without your grant
'I hope that grassroots clubs will make the most of the opportunity to apply for a Cash4Clubs grant,' said Conservative MP Dame Caroline Dineage, chair of the cross-party CMS Select Committee.

The application period for funding runs until the middle of November.
