UK leisure trusts are being invited to bid for a share of £2m worth of funding - thanks to a new partnership between Sport England and Sporta.

The cash will be distributed through Sporta's Make Your Move campaign and trusts can apply for up to £50,000 of funding. Sporta is the national association of leisure and cultural trusts and its members operate a wide range of leisure and cultural services in communities across the UK.

The bids need to demonstrate the ability to "deliver innovative projects that will help more people play sport"

One of the successful projects to receive funding, by Fusion Lifestyle, is already up and running.

Fusion was awarded £43,000 for its Friday Night Project, which aims to reduce anti-social behaviour in Camberwell, Croydon and Lewisham.

The scheme lets young people decide on the type of sport sessions and fitness activities they would like to do, with Fusion delivering the required sports at four sites throughout the capital every Friday evening.
