West of England Sport Trust (Wesport) is a place-based sport and physical activity intermediary focused on getting more people active across Bristol and the wider West of England, with a strong emphasis on reducing inequality. Its funding and program work commonly supports culturally diverse communities, young people at risk of offending, and projects that use sport as a tool for inclusion, recovery, and community wellbeing. The trust often administers larger public or partnership funds locally, so many opportunities are tied to specific initiatives rather than open general grantmaking.
Primarily program-based and partnership-led grantmaking, often administering restricted funds locally; awards appear to support delivery organizations and time-limited projects rather than unrestricted operating grants. Funding is generally targeted by geography and theme, with some rounds open for applications and others closed or continuation-based after selection.

Monitor Wesport and linked fund announcements for themed rounds rather than expecting a broad open call. Applications are usually geography-specific (West of England, Avon tennis area, or Somerset) and favor organizations delivering sport/physical activity to priority groups; for crime-prevention and inclusion funds, clearly show outcomes, community reach, and how your project reduces inequality or antisocial behavior.
