Your District Council is co-ordinating the Sportivate funding pot for sports clubs and groups throughout district.

The Sport England initiative is worth around £5,000, to be shared across the Dales.

The District Council's Club Development Officer Alan McGill said:

"We welcome bids that meet the funding criteria for between £500 and £750. However for any new creative and innovative projects, applications can be considered up to £1,000."

Successful applicants will have to complete monitoring and evaluation as part of the funding process, and the deadline for applications is 5 December.
