Funding available for youth sport, movement & performing arts projects

Funding available for youth sport, movement & performing arts projects 

The latest round of our Targeted Fund is now open for Expressions of Interest. 

This round, we’re offering project grants of up to £25,000 a year, for up to two years, to registered charities delivering targeted projects increasing access to sport, movement and the performing arts for children and young people across England. Grants support organisations to strengthen or expand existing work, or test new approaches, creating opportunities for young people to play, move, create and perform. 

Grants are for projects designed specifically for children and young people who face a particular barrier to participation as a result of who they are, where they live, or the circumstances they face. These may include (but are not limited to) disability, gender, race or socio-economic disadvantage. We ask organisations to tell us which barrier or barriers exist for young people in their community, and how their project is designed to address it. 

Full eligibility criteria, funding priorities, and the Expression of Interest form are available on our website here: https://www.wembleystadiumfoundation.org/grant/apply-for-our-targeted-fund/ 

Expressions of Interest close 5pm, 11 October 2026.
