Sport England: Queen's Platinum Jubilee Activity Fund

The Queen's Platinum Jubilee Activity Fund aims to use sport and physical activity as a means of bringing a community together and tackling inequalities via awards of between £300 and £10,000 from a pot of £5 million of National Lottery funding.

This fund will make awards, using National Lottery funding, of between £300 and £10,000, from a total pot of up to £5m.

We want to mark and help celebrate the Queen’s Platinum Jubilee year by supporting projects that bring a community together and provide opportunities for people who may be less physically active.

Therefore, we want organisations to consider how they could work more collaboratively across their community, in order to make the biggest possible impact.

We always have more applications than we’re able to fund and so our priority is to support projects working with people in disadvantaged communities. We also recognise the pandemic may still be affecting the delivery of projects, either in how they’re delivered or how much they cost to deliver.

You should make sure you consider any such additional cost or delivery changes to ensure you can achieve your aims. Funds are available for project costs such as facility hire and coaching, as well as for small capital improvements.

Key Information

• Multiple applications can be submitted but organisations can only have awards of up to £10,000 in any 12-month period.
• Awards are to help inactive people get active, or less active people become more active.
• We particularly want projects that support people who many otherwise have less opportunity to be active and our priority is to support projects working with people living in areas of disadvantage, as defined by the Indices of Multiple Deprivation areas 1-3.
• Projects should consider how they add value to their local community and work collaboratively with other groups to maximise the impact of the project.
• Projects should be aware of, and comply, with the government's national and local guidelines at the time you apply/deliver your project.
