Coach and Official Bursary

This is where you provide details of the opportunity. You should list the name of the NGB qualification in coaching or officiating, the conference or other training opportunity and the dates of when the opportunity is taking place.

This is the most important section of the application, in order to justify funding awards Active Kent & Medway must be able to demonstrate the impact bursaries can make to sport and physical activity. Please provide as much information as you can for each heading.

Coach/Official
What is the individual benefit to the person undertaking the course, consider wider implications for their physical and mental wellbeing as well as skill development and individual achievement.

The participants
What difference will it make to the participant experience as well as their physical, emotional and skill development within the club/organisation?

The Club/organisation and local community
Can you increase you offer to participants, either increasing numbers or hours of activity. Consider how this contributes to your future club development and wider links to the local community.

The Sport/activity
How will this bursary contribute the development of the sport or activity the individual is accessing training in? Is there a way to share the learning across your sport with other clubs/organisations?

Provide details of all the financial information relating to the development opportunity. The additional contribution box should show how you are planning to make up the difference in the total cost as the bursary does not cover the full cost of the cost. It may be the individual/club or other source contributing towards the cost.

Where possible this statement should be from a national governing body representative. The statement should endorse the application with reference to local, regional and/or national plans.
