Funding4Sport

Herts Sport & Physical Activity Partnership (HSP) has had a formal partnership arrangement with Funding4Sport since 2015. Working with Funding4Sport, HSP supports clubs, schools and organisations across Hertfordshire to secure investment and lever external funding into the county. Funding4Sport offers expert advice on the availability of funding that could enhance the provision for sport and physical activity as well as a no-win-no-fee bid writing service.

Since working with Funding4Sport, they have successfully helped clubs to lever over £2 million into the county for sport and physical activity for projects totalling costs of well over £4 million. Some notable examples would be helping Hertfordshire Golf to secure funds for a disability project and Welwyn Wheelers with a large-scale facility bid to help make much-needed improvements to their facility.

It is simple to access this offer, simply sign up by visiting the Funding4Sport website and subscribing.

Bid checking service

Funding4Sport also offer a bid checking service that includes looking through bids schools, clubs and organisations have written and advised them on changes they could make to improve that bid before submission, or if a bid has been unsuccessful, changes that could be made as part of a re-submission to increase the chances of that bid being successful.

If you would like to submit your funding application to the checking service, please contact Richard Sutcliffe.
