These grants are designed to encourage local people do their bit for their community and help a little go a long way to influence and improve hundreds of lives. Sports Action Grants tie in with our work to promote sport and recreation to help people achieve their full potential and encourage healthy and rewarding lifestyles and we're looking forward to supporting local initiatives which help us do this."
