Overview
Arctic One Foundation runs Forward Motion Grants, which it describes as small grants to disabled individuals, clubs and groups to enable them to pursue their sport. Because clubs and groups are eligible alongside individuals, a small sports or disability organisation can apply in its own right. Its published bands are equipment at £200 to £1,000, courses such as coaching courses at £200 to £750, coaching and training costs at £250 to £500, and travel costs at a maximum of £250. Applicants may apply for a grant a maximum of once in a 12 month period. The foundation says applications will be assessed within 2 months from submission. Its registered objects include the promotion of participation by people with a mental and physical disability in healthy recreation, in particular through the provision of facilities for individual and team sports.
