The Sutton Physical Activity Fund is a one-off funding programme, financed by Sutton Council and administered by Community Action Sutton.
The fund supports small and community focused projects that benefit Sutton residents and encourage groups and communities to be more physically active.
The panel are particularly interested in providing funding to cover set-up costs for projects which will be sustainable and self-sufficient long term. They will not provide ongoing funding for any projects - the project must show how it will be self-sustainable in the longer term.

Those from more economically deprived areas of the borough such as;
- South Beddington and Roundshaw
- St Helier East
- St Helier West

- Those with disabilities
- Those with long-term health conditions
- Women and girls
