A further 13 leisure trusts are to benefit from the latest round of Sport England’s Make Your Move programme.

The trusts will share £571,112 of funding, with each receiving up to £50,000 towards “innovative projects” that aim to find new ways of getting people more active in their communities.

The Make Your Move is driven by sporta, the UK’s representative body for sport and leisure trusts and the funding is available exclusively to sporta members.

Projects in the second round of funding include new national partnerships involving organisations such as Slimming World, English Federation of Disability Sport and Older Men’s Network.

One of the projects to benefit from the funding is a walking football and walking rugby programme delivered by Active Luton; a scheme targeting migrant women with young children in Hyndburn and a scheme looking to activate new parents with swimming, post natal exercise and buggy walks in Kirklees.

Brian Leonard, Sporta’s CEO said: “The trusts have again come forward with a wide range of imaginative proposals and the 13 new projects we have been able to approve will add to the learning we are gaining from the three projects in the pilot round and the 13 projects approved in Round One.

Sport England set aside £2m of National Lottery funding for the three-year programme and each grant must be match funded by the recipient.

To date a total of £1.27m of Lottery money has been allocated from Make Your Move across 29 different projects, representing a total programme value of £2.7m.
