A Place for Sport Fund

A Place for Sport is a fund by Sport Wales. It helps sports clubs raise money through Crowdfunder to improve their facilities. If your club starts a fundraising page on Crowdfunder, Sport Wales could support up to 60% of your target up to a maximum of £15,000.

What is Crowdfunder?

Crowdfunder is a website where people donate money to support good causes. You can create a fundraising page for your club and share it with your members and local community.

To encourage people to donate, you can offer rewards, like:

• Club hats or t-shirts

• Advertising boards or sponsorship

• Free entry or a free drink

• Free or discounted prices at local businesses

What can you raise money for?

You can raise money to improve your club’s facilities or buy ‘off-field’ equipment.

Some examples include:

• Fixing or upgrading changing rooms, toilets, or showers

• Renovating your clubhouse

• Improving kitchen or bar areas

• Adding bike racks or storage

• Making your space more accessible (with ramps or lifts)

• Fixing fences, or adding stands and seating

• Buying scoreboards or video equipment

• Pitch maintenance tools

If you are looking for funding for sports equipment or coaching courses, try the Be Active Wales Fund.

Who can apply?

You can apply if:

• You are a not-for-profit sports club or community group

• Your club is based in Wales, and benefits people living in Wales
