If the answer is yes, take a look at two fantastic offers (liked below) from Badminton England to support your club and take away the initial risk of trying something new to reach out to a new audience.

• The above offers are now available for clubs to apply directly for (links in the attachments) – please get in touch if you have any initial questions before applying
• The Racket Pack offer will also form part of our Olympic legacy work and therefore there is the option to choose between two delivery phases (Jan – Apr or June – Sept)
• On approval the full amount of grant and equipment will be awarded. Organisers will be required to administer their course through our Discover Badminton system (Playwaze) and provide monitoring for the project
• Please note we will not fund standalone courses, all courses should either support the start of a new session or feed into existing activity to ensure activity is sustainable
