Let's Move Together - Funding to support people with musculoskeletal conditions

Posted on 14 May 2021 by Christie McAlpine

Versus Arthritis are distributing grants of up to £5,000 to support people with musculoskeletal conditions including arthritis to get active.

Organisations should be working to increase the availability of exercise opportunities for people with musculoskeletal conditions in local communities, to reduce the negative impact of coronavirus and the widening of the inequalities in sport and physical activity. Applications are particularly welcome from groups who also support people from lower socio-economic groups, Black, Asian and/or Minority Ethnic communities and disabled people.

29% of adults in Scotland have musculoskeletal conditions so we anticipate that a number of groups will be eligible. For more information about these conditions please visit https://www.versusarthritis.org/about-arthritis/.
