The Sports Development Unit offers advice and practical support to local organisations considering making an application for funding. Various
sources of funding are available, including the
National Lottery Good Causes,
Awards For All and other grant-making agencies (e.g.
Sportsmatch), for projects to increase and improve sporting facilities and opportunities in Ipswich.
The Unit can also assist in the preparation of sports development plans and constitutions, a pre-requisite for many grant applications and can help identify the most appropriate funding source for a particular project.
In addition the Unit administers an annual programme of
small grants aimed at assisting local clubs and organisations with the costs associated with the development of sport in Ipswich.
