Equipment Bursary Fund

What is the Equipment Bursary Fund?

There are over 9,554 young people in Tameside who receive benefit related free school meals; the main aim of the Equipment Bursary Fund programme is to engage with these young people/families and to remove barriers to participation.

The Equipment Bursary Fund will support young people aged 5-16 years to purchase personal sports/activity equipment – which will enable them to participate in their chosen sport or physical activity – up to, but not more than, the value of £50.00.
