Our Funding Pillars
Go! London Partnership
The purpose of Go! London is to use the power of sport and physical activity to transform the lives of young Londoners. We will focus on underserved children and young people aged 4-24, those at a higher risk of poverty, social exclusion and discrimination.
We want Go! London funding to support initiatives that will create positive experiences of sport and physical activity for children and young people to:
- improve wellbeing (physical and mental)
- improve employability skills
- better connect communities
- improve safety
- reduce loneliness
We want to support groups trusted by young Londoners, particularly those who have experienced more structural challenges.
Funding Pillars
Go! London Partnership will provide funding and support through 3 ‘pillars’ or ‘streams’. Some of these will focus on organisations that support young people and deliver activities for them, some will invest in young people and their ideas directly, and some will improve local community infrastructure.
We will update this page with further information on the other funding pillars as they develop. Join our mailing list to be the first to know!
Current Funding Pillars

Foundation grants are aimed at organisations that provide sport and physical activity provision for children and young people in London from low-income families. We are looking to fund initiatives that improve access to sport and physical activity or create opportunities for young people to achieve social outcomes through sports.

Our Young Entrepreneurs grants offer up to £15,000 per year to empower young entrepreneurs aged 16-24 to develop social enterprise ideas. Additional funding is allocated to grantees for learning activities, such as training and workshops.
