Cash4Clubs Grant – Now Open for Applications
Deadline: 1st January 2027
Cash4Clubs is a small grants scheme offering £2,000 to 250 grassroots sports clubs and community organisations across the UK and Ireland. The programme is designed to support clubs that help keep adults active, particularly in areas where support is most needed. Last year alone £500k was awarded to groups in the UK.
What is Cash4Clubs?
Funded by Flutter UK & Ireland and delivered in partnership with the charity Sported, Cash4Clubs empowers local sports clubs to grow, improve facilities, and invest in their sustainability. Since its launch in 2008, the scheme has distributed over £7 million to grassroots sports, helping thousands of clubs thrive.
Who Can Apply?
The grant is open to:
Local sports clubs
Not-for-profit organisations
Community groups that engage adults in physical activity
Whether your club needs new equipment, coaching qualifications, or support to stay open, this unrestricted funding can be used in the way that best meets your needs.
Why Apply?
With rising costs and financial pressures, many clubs are struggling to stay afloat. A recent study found that:
40% of adult grassroots clubs are cancelling services due to funding issues
25% fear they won’t survive the next 12 months without external support
Cash4Clubs aims to change that by providing vital funding to clubs that are the backbone of their communities.
