Partnership with National Sports Council

ALLI Foundation is proud to announce a landmark partnership with the National Sports Council to expand sports grant funding to underserved communities across England, Wales, Scotland, and Northern Ireland.

The partnership, which comes into effect in the new year, will see joint funding of up to £150,000 allocated over two years specifically for young athletes from low-income backgrounds who aspire to compete at regional and national levels.

Expanding Our Reach

Through this collaboration, ALLI Foundation's Sports Achievement Fund will benefit from the National Sports Council's extensive network of clubs, academies, and regional bodies, enabling us to reach athletes who may previously have been unaware of the funding available to them.

"Sport has the power to transform lives," said David Chen, Head of Fundraising at ALLI Foundation. "This partnership enables us to reach talented young athletes who have slipped through the net — those with extraordinary potential but who face very real financial barriers to pursuing their sport."

Get Involved

A joint outreach programme will launch in the spring, featuring information sessions at sports clubs, schools, and leisure centres across the UK. These sessions will explain how young athletes can apply for ALLI Foundation grants and what support is available.

If you represent a sports club, school, or academy and would like to be part of the outreach programme, please get in touch with our team. We welcome the opportunity to visit your organisation and speak directly with young athletes.
