Re-Activate School Grant

The COVID 19 Recovery plan fund, Get Active – Re Activate Grant has been established to support secondary and special schools in Herefordshire to address levels of inactivity, particularly following Covid-19.

Stride Active is being funded via Herefordshire Council to administer the School Re-Activate Grant as part of its grant funding for the Covid-19 recovery plan, supporting economic recovery and improving wellbeing in Herefordshire.

The aims of the grant scheme are to:

• Increase the number of young people in your school taking part in 60 active minutes each day
• Engage young people who have become disengaged with PE/physical activity since COVID-19, or whose inactivity has been exacerbated by COVID-19
• Provide sustainable change, either for individuals or your school

Outcomes to be achieved through the grants scheme are:

• Increased physical activity for young people
• Sustained behaviour changes for young people
• Increased engagement in school (attendance, readiness to learn, confidence to participate, social connectivity)

What can the grant be used for?

You can apply for a grant to fund activities, interventions or training which will support long-term sustained engagement in physical activity for students within your school and ensure direct delivery of support/services.

These may include, but are not limited to:

• Interventions focusing on behaviour change for targeted cohorts / individuals to increase physical activity levels
• Staff training / CPD to extend / broaden provision in order to engage more young people in physical activity
• Increased capacity to support more young people to be active
• Whole school activities to raise the profile and importance of physical activity (eg. achieving a sustained culture change across staff and students)
• The activity must be additional activity, be free of charge to participants and inclusive.
