The Mayor of London, London Marathon Foundation and Sport England have come together as funders, in collaboration with London Marathon Events and London Sport, to create Go! London – the biggest community sport fund in the capital.

The partnership aims to:

  • Build a fairer London
  • Strengthen and diversify the capital’s sport and physical activity sector
  • Reduce barriers to physical activity that children and young people face, to tackle social and economic inequalities

How can rowing clubs benefit?

Now open for Round 4, the fund offers grants of up to £40,000 for grassroots organisations delivering physical activity opportunities for underserved Londoners aged 4 to 24. For projects providing specialised support, grants of up to £55,000 will be considered.

Round 4 aims to increase activity levels among those at greater risk of poverty, social exclusion, or discrimination. The fund also aims to improve physical and mental health, safety, social connections, and access to education and employment.

What support could you receive?

Support is tiered into three groups:

  • Participation Tier – Broad reach activities designed to increase physical activity levels among underserved children and young people
  • Targeted Support Tier – Structured programmes for groups facing specific barriers to participation, with support aimed at achieving a measurable social outcome
  • Specialised Support Tier – Longer term support for young people with complex needs, combining regular physical activity with tailored wraparound and specialist support to achieve a measurable social outcome
