Fundraising

We know that finding funding for a new play project can be exhausting. In fact, it’s hard work even knowing where to start. Luckily, with nearly 20 years experience under our belts, we know a thing or two about raising the necessary funds to get the playground of your dreams.

That’s why we’ve put together a collection of resources to help you fundraise for your new outdoor space. If you’re planning a new community playground project and need some advice of finding the funding, request one of our new funding guides by emailing sales@playforce.co.uk.

Make sure you don't miss the date!

Don’t miss the date with our regularly updated Funding Calendar with Playforce events and days. Many of the grants and funding solutions on this list are available for play projects outside schools. Keep an eye out for our list of funding available for parks and local authorities coming soon.

NB: One community funding opportunity you might not want to miss is the Aviva Community Funding. There are six project categories to choose from in which to submit your entry: Health, disability and well-being, Supporting the younger generation, Supporting the older generation, Sport in the community, Environment in association with the Mirror and Community support. The project is then submitted to a public vote, and winning projects can be awarded funding of up to £25,000. There are some useful hints and tips on the Aviva website at the link above to help you with your application.
