UKDS are delighted to announce the launch of new funding opportunity for Deaf Sports in England for 2022.

The Together Fund is a continuation of the Tackling Inequalities Fund that was set up as part of Sport England’s support package to help sport and physical activity sector through the coronavirus (Covid-19) crisis.

The focus of this programme is to help support community organisations to reach and engage their audience in movement/physical activity – creating a line of sight to movement/physical activity/sport.

Utilising Sport England’s Together Fund, UK Deaf Sport is seeking to identify clubs and organisations that support Deaf or Hard of Hearing people to optimise their opportunities to participate in sport.

The fund is open to clubs and community groups operating in England that are members of UK Deaf Sport, Registered Charities, Not For Profit, Social Enterprise, or Community Interest Companies.
