Club Grants: Are You Missing Out?
To support your club, Badminton England is offering you the opportunity to apply for a club support grant of up to £500. The grant should be used to help your club develop and grow and can be used to increase the number of targeted sessions, develop your coaches, run an open event or develop a junior session for example.
Clubs must be affiliated to Badminton England and existing activity or applications that are just for equipment will not be considered.
Please complete and submit the short form below in order to apply for a small grant. This will then be reviewed and your local Relationship Manager will then be in touch. On approval, the full amount of grant awarded will be paid to the club. Clubs will be required to submit monitoring for the project.
Last year the average grant from the club support fund was £460 – get involved today!!
