Together Fund: Now Open
19/04/2022
Versus Arthritis are distributing grants of up to £5,000 to support people with long term health conditions, to get active. Organisations across England should be working to increase the availability of exercise opportunities for people with long term health conditions in local communities, to help aid recovery from the negative impact of COVID-19 and reduce the widening of inequalities in sport and physical activity. Applications are particularly welcome from groups who also support people from culturally diverse communities, disabled people, and people from lower socio-economic groups.
They are particularly interested in supporting people with musculoskeletal conditions which affect 32% of people in England so they anticipate that a number of groups will be eligible. For more information about these conditions please visit: About arthritis | Conditions, symptoms, treatments, support (versusarthritis.org)
For more information about the Together fund, including how organisations can apply, please visit: Inspiring active communities (versusarthritis.org).
If you have any questions, please email [email protected].
