Developing sports club, organisation and leisure provider offers was high on the agenda at the recent Sports Partnership Herefordshire and Worcestershire Funding Workshops, held in both counties this month.

The new workshops reached full capacity and were attended by around 50 organisations, all keen to develop their sport and physical activity offer and increase participation in community sport across Herefordshire and Worcestershire.

From Small Grants funding to the larger Community Asset Fund, organisations gained valuable insight in to local and national funding opportunities, the benefits of additional funding and application processes.

Stephen Brewster, Chief Executive Officer of the Sports Partnership Herefordshire and Worcestershire stated,

"Physical activity participation at a grass roots level is a priority for the Sports Partnership Herefordshire and Worcestershire. The recent funding workshops have enabled us to engage with local sports clubs, organisations and leisure providers, increase their awareness of local and national funding opportunities and offer support throughout the application process."
