SASSOT Sports Club Accreditation Funding Re-opens
SASSOT have amalgamated their Club Accreditation and Coach Scholarships funding into a single application process. Up to £600 of funding is now available to sports clubs who require financial assistance to achieve and pass their accreditation criteria and which now includes funding for coach qualifications. All sports clubs benefiting from the funding must be based within Staffordshire and Stoke-on-Trent to qualify and commit to achieving accreditation within 9 months.
The SASSOT Sports Club Accreditation funding scheme was launched in September 2009 and so far a total of £16,455.80 has been distributed to 64 sports clubs to help them achieve Clubmark accreditation or re-accreditation. For a list of those clubs awarded funding please click here.

Applications can only be submitted electronically and the 1st round of applications must be submitted to me by Wednesday 5th October 2011
