About this Funding:
The Children’s Alliance has introduced a grant to enhance children’s physical and mental well-being through water-based activities.
Non-profit organisations, including schools, registered charities, community interest companies, and community groups, are invited to apply for funding up to £15,000, with most grants awarded being under £10,000.
The grant aims to support grassroots initiatives that provide disadvantaged children under 18 with access to water environments, fostering essential life skills and confidence.
Eligible projects may include swimming lessons, hydrotherapy sessions, surf therapy, and the provision of swimwear or transport to aquatic activities. Applications can be made twice per year in September and March.
Interested organisations should complete the grant application form available on the Children’s Alliance website (link below) and submit it to info@childrensalliance.org.uk.
Applicants must demonstrate clear, measurable outcomes related to children’s development and ensure their projects align with the grant’s objectives. A safeguarding or child protection policy is also required as part of the application process.
Funding Criteria:
Non-profit organisations, including schools, registered charities, community interest companies, and community groups that demonstrate measurable outcomes related to children's development.
