Merseyside Sports Partnership (MSP) is currently responsible for taking forward and co-ordinating the Sport England Together Fund in Merseyside. Together Fund is designed to support community, voluntary and third-sector organisations and constituted groups who are in a position to engage local communities to be physically active.
Focused on four priority audiences – who have been disproportionately impacted by COVID-19 – the purpose of the fund is to address the inequalities and challenges which have been further exacerbated by the pandemic and are continuing to widen in respect of impacting on opportunities to be active.
The four priority audiences are:
- People from culturally diverse communities
- People with a disability
- People with long-term health conditions
- People from lower socio-economic groups.
Previous phases of Together Fund have led to Sport England investing £340,000 in 92 organisations and groups to support local communities across Merseyside to be active.
MSP has recently issued an expression of interest inviting community, voluntary and third-sector organisations and groups – who are in a position to reach these priority audiences – to outline projects which could potentially be supported by Sport England.
