What is the Equipment Bursary Fund?
There are over 9,554 young people in Tameside who receive benefit related free school meals; the main aim of the Equipment Bursary Fund programme is to engage with these young people/families and to remove barriers to participation.

The club or group applying on behalf of the young person must be an affiliated member of the Tameside Sport & Physical Activity Network.

How much can you apply for?
Each club or group can apply to the fund for up to a maximum of £100.00 per individual application. Each application must evidence what the grant will be used to purchase (e.g. a print out or email link for the equipment).
