News

 

Inspired Facilities will offer £50 million in grants for local projects where there is a proven local need for a facility to be modernised, extended or modified to open up new sporting opportunities. The fund will be open to clubs, community and voluntary sector groups and councils.

 

The fund was launched on July 18th 2011 and for the first of five £10m funding rounds, with the final round in 2014/15.

 

 

 

Inspired Facilities Consultants Ltd is a division of The European Grants Centre, an organisation established in 1991 to advise UK businesses on obtaining financial aid from European, UK Government, and local sources. The Centre is privately-funded, providing free advice and consultancy services on a success-based fee structure.

 

The Inspired Facilities Programme offers clubs, community groups and local authorities a rare opportunity to secure funding for sports' capital projects. As demand is likely to outstrip the funding available to the programme, the application process is going to be highly competitive, and projects will need to be presented to their best advantage. Inspired Facilities Consultants (IFC) has been set up to focus on sports funding programmes so we help you formulate the best strategy for meeting their specific requirements and giving you the greatest chance of success.  

 

Our Grant Work Covers 5 Key Areas:

* Advising clients on the suitability of a project for a particular source of funding

* Preparing the grant applications, supplementary project reports and the business plan

* Submitting planning applications and liasing with statutory authorities

* Negotiating and organising competitive tenders from a range of contractors 

* Appealing against negative or unsatisfactory decisions

* Finalising arrangements for grants

We take responsibility for building the strongest possible case for each funding application and ensure that your committee is kept fully informed as to the stage a particular application has reached. We give you the benefit of having successfully applied for grants for more than 100 organisations, using this experience to maximise your chances of success.
