Eligible and Ineligible Costs - Sportivate - LIVING SPORT

Eligible and Ineligible Costs

The Sportivate programme has a funding budget of £32million from the National Lottery to spend over the course of the 4 years, £8million per annum.  

Funding will be allocated between county sports partnerships according to the percentage of 14-25 year olds that live in the county.

Cambridgeshire has 84,200 14–25 year olds, which equates to 1.55% of the national population, therefore the Sportivate programme within Cambridgeshire & Peterborough has a delivery budget of around £90,000 a year.

LIVING SPORT do not have a funding request limit within the Sportivate programme for Cambridgeshire & Peterborough, however we suggest the following as a guide to applying organisations:

• Activities should request around £25 per person if your project is engaging with 14-16 year olds or £35 per person if your project is engaging with +16, per 6 week course.  Additional expense would need to be financed through partnership funding.

Please note that this is a guide on how much you will be able to secure. Further discussion on additional funding requests should be made to Ross Hayward.
