As a lead up to the London 2012
Olympics Games, government agency Sport England, is committed to creating a
sporting culture in England.
Armed with funds from the National Lottery, Sport England has put numerous funding and grant programs in place. One in particular, called the Innovation Fund, will look to fund inventive ideas, which help to remove barriers preventing participation, develop new ways of exploiting technology or to inspire more people to take up physical activity by adapting existing sports.
The overall aim of this £5 million investment program is to find and nurture genuine breakthroughs that will transform the way community sport looks and feels in the future.
As of May 12, the Innovation Fund has begun accepting initial applications and this first stage is open until August 10th.
