Sport Relief 2006-2008
In the UK, money raised through Sport Relief 2006 is currently being distributed in two ways:
- The Community Foundation Network is distributing Sport Relief grants to projects that use sport to build the confidence and self esteem of people who are having major problems in their lives. Other projects will give people who would otherwise miss out, the chance to take part in sport.
- UnLtd is distributing Sport Relief grants to young people who use sport to bring people together in their local area to enhance community relations and reduce conflict where they live
The Robbie Williams' Give It Sum Fund (2007-08)
This fund is Robbie Williams' charitable trust which he set up in 2000 and asked Comic Relief to administer on his behalf. It supports a wide range of work tackling poverty and disadvantage.
It is only available to organisations based in North Staffordshire.
You can get information on our grant-making in large print, on audio tape, in Braille and in Welsh. If you need information in other formats, we will do our best to provide it.
