Reflecting on the Together Fund

We’re happy to share a report reflecting on the impact of the Together Fund in South Yorkshire and West Yorkshire.

The Together Fund was a continuation of the Tackling Inequalities Fund, initially set up in April 2020 as part of Sport England’s support package to help the sport and physical activity sector through the coronavirus (Covid 19) crisis. It aimed to reduce the inequality gap across our communities.

National insight reinforced that those disproportionately affected by the pandemic were also significantly impacted when it came to being physically active. Therefore, a further £20 million of National Lottery funding was committed to reducing this inequality gap, and the funding prioritised supporting those most in need to become more active.

The report tells the story of how the funding was spent and the impact it has had across the two counties. It includes three videos from projects across the two counties, and an episode of The YSF Podcast reflecting on the approach to working with new groups and organisations.
