Sport England has once again encouraged grassroots and clubs and voluntary organisations across England to apply for funding as part of the agency's Sportsmatch programme.

Grants worth between £1,000 and £100,000 are available through the scheme, which aims to bring additional support to non-profit groups that have already secured sponsorship. Among the recipients to have already received Sportsmatch support is StreetGames, which was handed £100,000 in addition to investment from Coca Cola GB to run sport festivals.

Sport England chair Richard Lewis said: "This funding is helping many more people get involved in grassroots sport and the StreetGames project is a great example of that. "However, there is still plenty of opportunity for other sports clubs to benefit and I urge them to take advantage of this fund and apply."
