1 Sports Partnership Herefordshire & Worcestershire Application Form Guidance Notes Funding aims The aim of the bursary scheme is to assist with increasing capacity within clubs and provide an increase in the amount of coaching especially for those aged 16+. Priority will be given to clubs that have achieved Clubmark or clubs that will be able to achieve Clubmark by receiving this funding. The funding is only available to support coaches wishing to gain Level 1 and Level 2 qualifications. Who can apply? Any individual who wants to gain a sports coaching qualification and working with a local club, is eligible to apply. Applicants must be resident in Herefordshire & Worcestershire and will be using their qualification within the two counties. Grants cannot be awarded retrospectively. Therefore we ask that courses that individuals wish to attend commence after the assessment date that your application is being submitted to. How are applications assessed?
