Great news on a new initiative in place from swim England to provide support in the form of a Equipment Bursary Fund, details are below, please get in touch with us if you believe you can benefit from this and would like us to submit an application on your behalf.
What is the Equipment bursary fund?
There are over 9,554 young people in Tameside who receive benefit related free school meals; the main aim of the Equipment Bursary Fund programme is to engage with these young people/families and to remove barriers to participation.
The Equipment Bursary Fund will support young people aged 5-16 years to purchase personal sports/activity equipment – which will enable them to participate in their chosen sport or physical activity – up to, but not more than, the value of £100.00.
The Equipment Bursary Fund is for young people who are members of a Tameside sports club/physical activity group and are residents in Tameside. All young people must also be in receipt of FREE school meals.
