Mettle bursaries & scholarships, funded programmes and corporate social responsibility:
A community – of people and partners, for change. Community drives mettle to do things differently, and to challenge for positive change. We train and compete, we coach and learn, and we strive to make a difference on a daily basis. And we have fun, lots of fun.
At mettle we’re determined to lift communities to a new level – healthier, happier and stronger. But we can only do this in partnership with our communities.
We believe in the power of sport and the difference it can make physically but also mentally, emotionally and socially. Sport can change lives, raise aspirations and help people lead better lives than they otherwise would.
Access to sport and physical activity to help people become fit, healthy and happy should be a fundamental right for everyone. Unfortunately it’s not, and some people are far more likely to access sport and benefit from all that comes with it than others. That’s not right, and not fair.
At mettle, we’re doing what we can to address such inequalities.
What we offer
-
Our bursaries & scholarships are currently funded by mettle. A small proportion of each membership goes into a pot to fund training places. These are open to talented and/or people experiencing financial or other hardships. Bursaries are 50% funded and scholarships are fully funded, each for a six month period. These are available by recommendation, referral or application.
Please get in touch if these are right for you or someone you know.
-
At mettle, we successfully run funded programmes thanks to partners such as Sheffield City Council, Street Games, the Police Crime Commission, the Violence Reduction Unit and Sport England. These programmes usually last two to six months long and often serve a specific purpose, objective or audience. Funded programmes often involve access to additional opportunities such as qualifications, day trips, celebration events, incentives and rewards or merchandise. We will advertise funded opportunities to train with us as and when they arise.
To discuss funding and funded opportunities please get in touch.

We work in partnership with commercial organisations which want to give back to their local communities or support a specific cause. Many have a vested interest in supporting their staff, or driving positive change more broadly. Such partnerships cover advanced bursaries and scholarships to support members or pay for coaching delivery. Or they fund a specific project in a local community - such as an after-school club or community project. We have a range of partnership opportunities at mettle, to fit different business requirements, interests and budgets.
If you would like to support the ambitions of mettle and make an impact on people's lives, please get in touch.
