CVC foundation
Sported and CVC have been working together since 2021 when CVC first provided a grant to support the Sported network through the COVID pandemic challenges
A further round of support enabled additional grants to be directed to the areas of the UK most impacted and least funded.
And in Autumn 2022, Sported launched our #KeepTheDoorsOpen campaign reflecting the risk of the cost-of-living crisis to grassroots sports organisations.
Once again, CVC stepped forward to support, offering £100k of support with the intention of targeting groups most in need of support through the major economic challenges they and their community faced.
