Club Funding Programme

Please note the club funding programme ran successfully in 2019 and we will look to secure funding in the future to hopefully review the programme and run something similar.

Clubs from across the county have the chance to receive a grant worth up to £3,000 in 2019, courtesy of Lancashire WPSA.

The Lancashire WPSA Grant scheme is open to all affiliated swimming clubs and has been designed to help develop Aquatics within a club environment across the county.

Funding can be used by clubs for Club Development, Athlete Development or Workforce development.

Clubs interested in applying for funding should complete the appropriate Lancashire WPSA application form and return to funding@swimlancashire.org.uk  prior to the deadline.

The deadline for entries for this round of the Lancashire WPSA Grant scheme is Thursday 28th February 2019.

Lancashire WPSA invites affiliated clubs to submit funding applications between £500 and £3,000 in order to develop Aquatics within the club environment up to 50% of the total cost of the application will be awarded.
