Movement for Change | UnLtd programme, a partnership with Sport England that provides funding and tailored support for people with innovative ideas for the sport and physical activity sector.
UnLtd is looking for social entrepreneurs who use sport/physical activity for social benefit in England and we are particularly interested in ventures that make physical activity accessible and inclusive.
Why Movement for Change?
Our work is a part of Sport England’s 10-year Uniting the Movement vision to unlock potential and tackle inequalities in sport and physical activity. This work aims to:
Improve Physical and mental health: We believe sport and physical activity have a big role to play in improving the physical and mental health of the nation, supporting the economy, reconnecting communities and rebuilding a stronger society for all.
Tackle inequality: For too long, people with the most to gain from being active have been the least able to take part as a result of the huge disruption 2020 has caused, and the inequalities it’s reinforced or even exacerbated.
Change the system: This strategy is not just a vision for the next 10 years. It sets how we need to change as a sector and an ecosystem so that we can give people the opportunities they need now and in the future.
Who we are looking to fund?
We are looking for social entrepreneurs aged 16+ who use sport/physical activity for social benefit in England.
