The Mars Refuel Drink Fund is open for entries.

The MARS Refuel Drink Fund was set up to help people overcome the various barriers preventing them getting involved in an active lifestyle by offering £500 awards to selected applicants.

Since its initial launch in 2008, MARS Refuel Drink Fund has attracted 9068 applications and helped to refuel 8304 people.

The fund, which runs until May 31 2010, has £10,000 to donate each month to the most deserving applicants.

Applications can be made online at www.marsrefuel.com offering support with anything from equipment costs, to improving training grounds and club houses.

You don’t just have to be part of a team to benefit. The fund will also give support to individuals raising money for charity through sporting activities, such as bike rides, mountain climbing and parachute jumps.

The site will be regularly updated with the names of the people and clubs awarded each month. They will also be invited to post comments, pictures and videos of themselves as part of their application.

The fund is open to residents of, and clubs and organisations based in the UK and Republic of Ireland only. Applicants must be 12 years or over and only one application will be accepted per person, club or organisation.
