Peter Harrison Foundation - Opportunities Through Sport

Details

The Trustees wish to support sport and physical activity at a grassroots level that enable people across the UK who are physically, mentally, socially or economically disadvantaged to develop personal and life skills to fulfil their potential.

They prioritise applications for physical activity initiatives that: 

  • Offer high-impact, life-enhancing opportunities for those who live in the top 10% of areas of deprivation 
  • Remove barriers to participation for disabled or disadvantaged people  
  • Focus on grassroots involvement rather than elite participation in physical activity 
  • Focus on skills development and confidence building for individuals 
  • Incorporate effective strategies for wider impact, perhaps through training, partnerships and/or dissemination activities 
  • Demonstrate a high degree of involvement across the organisation from beneficiaries and those with lived experience 
  • Have a well-developed plan for sustainability and seek to deliver a legacy
