Mars Refuel funding

To encourage people to try new sports and play their favourite sport for longer, Mars Refuel chocolate milkshake has set up the Mars Refuel Drink Fund. The fund was set up to help people overcome the financial barriers to sport by offering £500 awards to selected applicants.
 
Since its initial launch in 2008, MARS Refuel Drink Fund has helped more than 15,000 people play sport for longer.
 
The fund, which launches on April 2 2011 and runs until September 30 2011, has £5,000 to donate each month to the most deserving applicants.
 
Applications can be made online at www.marsrefuel.com offering support with anything from equipment and travel costs, to improving training grounds and club houses. The fund will be accepting applications from April 2011.
 
The site will be regularly updated with the names of the people and clubs awarded each month.
 
The fund is open to residents of, and clubs and organisations based in the UK and Republic of Ireland only. Applicants must be 12 years or over and only one application will be accepted per person, club or organisation.
