Dear Derek,

Sport England's Awards for All, Lottery Grants for Local Groups is probably the best way a club can gain funding. The Herts Junior County Committee have recently submitted an application. A club will need a constitution and a bank account and preferably have an annual income of under £15,000. However a club could get round this by setting up a junior committee for example. Priority areas for funding are Young People, Ethnic Minorities, Women and Girls and Disabilities. I can send you a pack and a self help pack for squash applications, however the best thing to do is click here for  AwardsForAll or SportEngland

If any club wishes to apply for an Awards for All grant to help them achieve England Squash Club Charter Status then I am available to go visit and help a club submit an application. For example, a club wishing to develop or establish a junior section a club could apply for funding for coach education, coaches fee's, equipment and court fees.

Local authorities can also some times offer grants for Coach Education and talented juniors etc, but you would have to contact the sports development sections of each local authority to find out if they offer this service. I hope this is helpful. If you need more information then please let me know.

Thanks, Karen Selby
