Record turnout for London and South East Finding Funding Webinar

There was a record turnout for the London and South East Funding Support Webinar on 21 May. The free event introduced RYA Funding Support Officers Tom Davenport and Howard Nelson, who can provide support to clubs with preparing a project, finding the right funds and writing/filming applications.

RYA Funding Finder

Tom explained how to use the RYA Funding Finder and its search criteria. This gives access to a wide range of funding opportunities.

Sport England Movement Fund

Next Tom talked about the Sport England Movement Fund of which Sport England says: "Our focus is to support projects that match our goal of getting more people active, reducing the number of inactive people and tackling inequalities. If your project aligns with our priorities, we can fund a wide range of costs and items up to £15,000."

Buddle

We were then introduced to Buddle which provides resources and support from Sport England. It shares the latest information, training and tools to help clubs and organisations overcome challenges and make the most of the opportunities available to them.

Q and As

Finally there was a lively question and answer session.

A brilliant turnout

Tom said of the webinar: "It was a brilliant turnout - the highest I've had at any webinar I've done. From my perspective the format worked well. A short sharp session was a good way to introduce people to the support on offer - those who want help will be in touch as a result (I had my first email through five minutes after it had finished!), and those who want to go it alone now have a couple more tools to help with this."
