Versus Arthritis are distributing grants of up to £5,000 to support people with musculoskeletal conditions, including arthritis, to get active. Organisations in Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland should be working to increase the availability of exercise opportunities for people with musculoskeletal conditions in local communities, to help aid recovery from the negative impact of COVID-19 and reduce the widening of inequalities in sport and physical activity. Applications are particularly welcome from groups who also support people from culturally diverse communities, disabled people, and people from lower socio-economic groups.
33% of people in Scotland have musculoskeletal conditions so we anticipate that a number of groups will be eligible. For more information about these conditions please visit: About arthritis | Conditions, symptoms, treatments, support (versusarthritis.org)
For more information about the Let’s Move Together fund, including how organisations can apply, please visit: Inspiring active communities (versusarthritis.org). If you have any questions, please email physicalactivityva@versusarthritis.org.
