Funding support for grassroots sport
I help sports clubs and community organisations win grant funding for sport and physical activity, from facility projects to programmes that get more people taking part.

Who is The Funding Coach?
Accessing grant funding for sport can be time consuming and confusing for stretched volunteers. I have almost 15 years experience in the sport sector helping organisations access millions of pounds in funding during that time.
I have supported projects including revenue funding for participation projects, as well as capital projects worth £1m+.
I support sports clubs, and also town and parish councils, schools and colleges, and charities and community groups, with sport as my strength.
Get in touch today to see how I can help you achieve your goals.
What does The Funding Coach do?
Here are the main ways I can help, from finding the right grant to submitting the bid.

Grant Matching
Identify funding opportunities that align with your organisation, project and objectives. I help you navigate the funding landscape and focus your efforts on the grants most likely to support your ambitions.

Community Consultation
Demonstrate local need and strengthen your project through meaningful engagement with stakeholders, participants and the wider community. I help gather the evidence funders want to see.

Project Planning
Turn your ideas into well-structured, fundable projects. I provide practical support to define objectives, identify outcomes, develop delivery plans and build a strong foundation for investment.

Bid Writing
I write clear, evidence-based funding applications that explain your project, impact and need. I match each bid to the funder’s priorities and assessment criteria to give you the best chance of success.
What do people say?
“Thanks for all your help over the years helping me to develop a football pitch to be proud of”
