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.
