#NorthantsGirlsCan Fund
The #NorthantsGirlsCan Fund aims to support groups, organisations and clubs who wish to engage and provide regular and sustained sport and physical activity opportunities for women aged 25 years and above.
The programme is part of This Girl Can - a nationwide campaign developed by Sport England and delivered in partnership with a wide range of organisations, which aims to get women and girls moving, regardless of shape, size and ability.
Northamptonshire Sport has created the #NorthantsGirlsCan Fund to provide initial 'start up' grants of up to £500 for organisations across Northamptonshire to access, with the aim of providing more accessible opportunities for women aged 25 years and over.
