Lakenham Sport for Change Activity Grant – Application FormMay 2017

The Lakenham Sport for Change Project wants to support projects that encourage and empower people in Lakenham and Tuckswood in Norwich to get active, have fun and enjoy exercising. Projects should provide local, accessible opportunities for people that foster a positive attitude to getting active.

We are looking to support a range of projects that address what older people/families/single people would like to do; this may range from a community conservation group, cycling club to a group of neighbours who would like to organize a street games competition.

  • Applications that are focused on the Lakenham and Tuckswood area and its residents are strongly encouraged.
  • Please allow up to two months from application submission for a decision on your application.
  • Applications for retrospective funding will not be considered. Please plan in sufficient time to organise and publicise your project before the date it is due to start.
  • Please note projects that include only capital items or equipment are unlikely to be approved.

In the short term the Lakenham Sport for Change Project aims are:

  • To increase physical activity/reduce inactivity in Lakenham/Tuckswood
  • To reduce social isolation in Lakenham/Tuckswood.

We are looking for projects that use local assets such as Jubilee Park Multi Use Games Area(MUGA), Lakenham Way and Harford Community Centre to provide innovative, accessible and fun activities for local people. We are seeking projects that encourage those who may not exercise at the moment to get active.

Projects don’t need to be high tech or complex. What we are looking for are projects that will encourage those who might not get active to become more active. An example of this might be a step exercise class which matches volunteers mentor buddies with those attending to encourage people to keep active and make longer term lifestyle changes as well as decrease social isolation. Projects that get people together, having fun and getting active are sought for this Comic Relief and Sport England funded project.
