The Summer of Sport investment will help us work with partners to put on free, targeted or reduced cost events designed to provide as wide access as possible to different activities and capitalise on the motivation sparked by the World Cup and Commonwealth Games. This one-off fund will focus on opportunities for children and young people age 3 to 26 years, to help them get active, stay active and improve their lives with a particular focus on those at a higher risk of poverty. The fund will support a range of activities including holiday time activities which are active, fun and create social connections and opportunities for staff and deliverer training for participants over summer. National partners, national organisations and SGBs will be able to apply through an application process, outlining their case for investment and demonstrating how the proposed activity will improve outcomes aligned to the purpose of the investment. A panel will assess submissions and agree funding awards which will be approved by a supplementary panel and paid to National partners / SGB directly through existing mechanisms and a process will be put in place for new partners.
