East Midlands Funding Opportunities
Details of funding opportunities available in the East Midlands
Funding is available for UKCC Level 1 and Level 2 Coach Education Courses for Diving, Swimming, Synchronised Swimming & Water polo, UKCC Level 3 Coach Education Courses for Swimming. On receipt of the completed application form, your application will be assessed for eligibility. Successful applicants will then receive notification via email of the grant to be awarded.
On completion of the relevant form the candidate will have chosen whether to apply for additional sources of funding through the County ASA. The Region will forward this form to the relevant parties on behalf of the individual candidate.
When the course has been completed, you will need to send the completed ‘Grant Aid application form’ back to Charlotte Berzins- ASA East Midland Regional Coordinator, with a receipt for the course fee attached and signed by the course tutor.
When this is received and has been processed, your club will receive a cheque for the agreed amount directly from the ASA East Midland Region. For your information, the cheque will be made payable to the club, not the individual.

Please Note as of the 1st April 2011 Grant Aid will only be available to swim21 Clubs.
