Thanks to funding from London Marathon Foundation, The LGBT+ Fund, powered by Consortium, will be awarding a total of £400,000 over 2 years, to successful applicant organisations and groups working in LGBT+ sports and physical activities across the UK.
The LGBT+ Fund: Get Active Fund responds to the fact that LGBT+ groups delivering sporting and physical activities are under-resourced, facing consistent under-investment and challenges to accessing relevant opportunities. Systemic and social pressures also mean that LGBT+ individuals are more likely to disengage from physical activities in multiple settings, including those intended to be inclusive.
The fund aims to invest much needed resource into community based LGBT+ sports and physical activity-focused organisations and projects across the UK. It will prioritise grassroots groups supporting LGBT+ communities who face additional barriers to participation.
In 2026, organisations can apply for grants of between £5,000 and £25,000 per year for projects lasting 1 or 2 years.
Grants are available to those facing fuel poverty and have received money advice/guidance within the last six months.
Grants for registered charities, CICs and community benefit societies focused on arts, preventing/reducing the impact of poverty, supporting marginalised groups or supporting specific mental health issues.
Grants for charitable organisations working with young people across the UK, with a preference for projects that support young people with depression, mental health issues, or those confronting drug issues.
