Funding pots for the development of school playgrounds change on a regular basis and can often differ subject to your geographical location in the UK. Regional funding pots go live from large businesses wanting to conduct CSR (Corporate Social Responsibility) work in their local areas which can result in large awards being distributed.

For many years, schools applied to the national lottery for an Awards for All grant up to £10,000 to enable them to develop their school playgrounds. This was an extremely popular award resulting in thousands of applications from schools. The criteria for this funding avenue are now only available to voluntary and community organisations. ESP Play work in partnership with schools to provide them the latest up to date advice of what funding opportunities are live and available.
