As previously reported in December, Sportsmatch is currently accepting applications. However some changes to the criteria has been announced.

Both revenue or capital costs are covered,  however the maximum capital grant that can now be awarded is £25,000.

Capital projects involving construction, refurbishment or land improvement are not eligible for support.

It is also now expected that Sportsmatch will be allocated by Autumn 2010, so early submission of applications is encouraged.

The Sportsmatch programme matches sponsorship that has been given to community sports organisations by companies, trusts, charities, or private individuals in order to fund projects that promote new participation at grassroots level.
