Answer in plain English — we'll structure it

Who & what

Town, borough, region.

Lived experience, qualifications, who you are. Funders read this first.

Group, age range, how they find you.

The need

Plain English. What's wrong now that your work fixes?

Local data, lived experience, gaps in existing provision.

What you'll do

Sessions, frequency, venue, kit.

Who delivers, how participants are referred, how you keep them coming.

Sole trader · Ltd company · CIC · Charity · Undecided.

Safety & risk

DBS, named lead, written policy, accessibility, anti-racist & trauma-informed practice. Mark anything not in place as 'needs confirmation'.

Money

PT fees, group sessions, corporate, grants, contracts.

Sport England, Lottery, Comic Relief, local authority, PCC, NHS, corporate CSR.

Venue, kit, coach time, admin, marketing, insurance. Approximate is fine — mark unknowns 'needs confirmation'.

People & reach

Probation, YOT, schools, gym partner, faith/community orgs.

How people will hear about you and turn up.

Proof & sustainability

What changes for participants? Physical, mental, social, economic.

Attendance, surveys (ONS4, IPAQ), case studies, photos.

Previous delivery, testimonials, data, lived experience. Be honest about gaps.

What happens after the first grant ends — follow-on funding, paid pathways, partnerships.
