  We do with our Scholarships for Sports Coaches

We welcome applications related to any sport. If there is a high level of demand for grants we will give priority to individuals who can show that they are, or will be, working with Young People (Under 16), Young Adults (17 – 25), Older People, Women, People with Special Needs, or Black and Minority Ethnic Groups. We also want to help people who will use the training to tackle issues of community safety, or social inclusion, or health improvement through sports participation.

• Only one grant of up to £250 will be awarded to an individual in any year (April to March). The maximum that will be awarded in any one quarter will be £250. Normally we will not fund more than 50% of the overall course fees.
• You must be a Worthing resident or have an established association with a voluntary organisation, like a sports club, based in the Borough or within a 5 mile radius of the Borough’s boundaries.
• You do not have to hold an existing coaching qualification but we will give priority to people already helping out at a local voluntary sports club.
• Grants are only available for sports related training programmes. Non sport specific training (e.g. First Aid) may be eligible if it can be shown to be for use in a sports context.
• If successful you’ll be asked to sign an agreement to confirm acceptance of the grant conditions. Payment of the grant will only be made in arrears after the course has been completed.
• We regret that grants will not be available for training already undertaken.
