Dear Member Clubs

We will continue to keep you up to date with current funding opportunities, either from Welsh Boxing, Sport Wales or externally. Please find below the latest opportunities and I would like to make you aware of the following:

  • Clubs can apply to the Be Active Wales Fund for a second time, your point of contact is Owen Davies

  • Sport Wales has launched a new fund to support private providers, which will support fitness centres and gyms. This is not aimed at our affiliated clubs, but you may have an arm of the premises that can be supported, your point of contact is Sport Wales

Current Funding Opportunities:

Be Active Wales Fund – Sport Wales is now keeping this open indefinitely and have condensed it to two strands – protect and progress.
