Wooden Spoon Equipment Grants for Disabled and Disadvantaged Young People (UK) - Deadline: Rolling
Schools and not-for-profit organisations can apply for funding through the
Wooden Spoon Society’s Capital Grants programme. Wooden Spoon is the British and Irish Rugby charity that supports mentally and physically disadvantaged children under the cognitive age of 25. Each year the charity supports around 70 projects. Through the programme funding is available for:
• Buildings and extensions,
• Equipment and activity aids,
• Sensory rooms and gardens,
• Playgrounds and sports areas,
• Soft playrooms.
The funding available is for capital items only and will not support revenue costs such as staffing and other ongoing costs. There is no maximum grant limit, however it is unlikely that a project of a physical nature that is under £2,000 will have sufficient substance and scale to qualify. Wooden Spoon’s contribution may be up to 100% of the cost, though beneficiary organisations will be encouraged, when practicable, to raise a proportion themselves. Since its founding in 1983, Wooden Spoon Society has awarded over £31 million in grants to more than 1,400 projects. If the project is educational or disability sports-focused, a key rugby element must be used to engage children and young people.
Applications can be submitted at any time.
