The Together Fund is a continuation of the Tackling Inequalities Fund that was set up in April 2020 as part of our support package to help the sport and physical activity sector through the coronavirus (Covid-19) crisis.
The Together Fund exists to help to reduce the negative impact of coronavirus and help community groups working with our target audiences to grow and help more people.
This is a great chance for us to support our communities to attain funding for projects involving physical activity initiatives along the waterway.
