Equipment grants for this second round could cover things like new sports, music, or art equipment, a new vehicle, furnishings, IT, or security equipment.

This new round will launch at 10am on Monday 6 October, and will be open to applications until midday Thursday 6 November 2025.

If you have any questions, please contact myself or the team on bys@sibgroup.org.uk and we will be happy to support you throughout the application process.
