Supporting schools to open up their facilities and help more children and young people to access opportunities to be active.
Opening School Facilities Report
In February 2021 The Department for Education announced an investment of £10.1 million to support schools to open their sports facilities all year round, helping more children and young people to be physically active during evenings, weekends and school holidays.
As an Active Partnership, we were awarded £107,000 of this funding to help schools in Lincolnshire open up their facilities. We worked with Craig Mulhall at Mulhall Leisure Consultancy Limited(MLC) and Andy Wilkinson - Assistant Headteacher at Carre's Grammar School. (Seconded to MLC) on this programme to help select and identify suitable projects and award the funding.
The funding was distributed in small grants (a maximum of £10,000 per school) to a number of priority schools based on an agreed set of criteria.
Read our Report to find out more about which schools were awarded the funding, and how it was spent.
