Aims/priorities: The aim of the scheme is to support sports projects which provide opportunities for people who are disabled or otherwise disadvantaged to fulfil their potential and to develop other personal and life skills. The Trust will consider applications for capital, revenue or project funding and welcomes applications for projects that:
- Provide a focus for skills development and confidence building through the medium of sport.
- Have a strong training and/or educational theme within the sporting activity.
- Provide sporting equipment or facilities for disabled or disadvantaged people.
- Have a high degree of community involvement.
- Help to engage children or young people at risk of crime, truancy or addiction.

- Registered in England and Wales with the Charity Commission.
- Registered in Scotland with the Office of the Scottish Charity Regulator (OSCR).
