Skipton Building Society Grassroots Giving 2014

For 2014, Skipton Building Society has allocated 161 donations of £500 to help fund development for grassroots organisations.

The idea behind the Grassroots Giving campaign is to help community organisations, or groups, who only have access to limited funding from elsewhere. If you are a small group that is working to help those in your local neighbourhood this is for you.

Sport England Inspired Facilities – Deadlines for 2014

Inspired Facilities is a £110 million programme from Sport England that funds the renovation and modernisation of local sports facilities.

Inspired Facilities is focused on making it easier for local community and volunteer groups to improve and refurbish sports clubs or transform non-sporting venues into modern grassroots sport facilities. Tired, worn out, old facilities make it harder for people to start or keep doing sport. They can also be more expensive to run and difficult to maintain.
