Funding
Active Parish Grants
Kellogg’s Active Living Fund
The fund will give small grants to fund projects and activities that directly lead to people taking part in sustained physical activity. The aim of the fund is to help remove the “barriers” which stop people being active. The fund is open to organisations based in England, Northern Ireland, Scotland and Wales. Kellogg’s will make a grant of up to £1000 but will only fund activities or projects where the grant makes a significant impact.
