Applications are now open for the 2025 Grow Your Club grant programme designed to help grassroots sports and activity clubs in Wakefield thrive — whether that’s through better equipment, support with venue costs, or training for volunteers.

To give you a sense of what this funding can achieve, we’ve just released a short video that offers a light-hearted but insightful look at the challenges many clubs face — from mismatched gear and chaotic training sessions to venues that are anything but fit for purpose.

You’ll also see how last year’s funding helped 12 local clubs turn things around — with proper coaching, better kit, and the right spaces to grow their teams and communities.

If you have any questions, please contact the team at sportandpa@wakefield.gov.uk
