A total of £7,220 was paid out in the year ended 30th September 2008; £3,100 was awarded to 12 individual applicants in sports including athletics, badminton, fencing, heptathlon, hockey, roller skating, rugby, taekwondo and tennis; £4,120 was paid out to 13 clubs for various improvements to facilities, disabled equipment and towards the cost of introduction days for newcomers.

In each year there will be two rounds of grant allocations. The closing date for applications for the first round will be 15th March and for the second 15th September. Grants awarded will be paid in April and October.

Individuals
Individuals (with emphasis on the young) who are resident in the Borough (or belong to a sports club affiliated to the District Sports Council) and have reached a level higher than club level (or who, in the opinion of suitably qualified referees, may be expected so to do) may apply for grants to help towards the costs of special equipment, extra coaching, travelling or other costs associated with improving their performance. Grants do not normally exceed £350.
