As part of The British Judo Association’s (BJA) Sport England (SE) Together Fund allocation, £10,000 has been released to create a fund for aspiring and existing coaches who wish to apply for assistance with their coaching journey and attain their next coaching qualification – Level 1,2 or 3.

This fund aims to build resilience in our coaching workforce, with our key goal to offer more people the opportunity to live more active lifestyles through judo. This funding will enable individuals within BJA Clubs working with, or personally from, our target audiences (listed below), to progress their coaching qualification and widen the coaching support within their existing or new clubs:

• Lower socio-economic groups (LSEG)

• Culturally diverse communities

• Disabled people

• People with long-term health conditions

Due to an overwhelming number of applications, we have had to close applications. We will be in touch with all applicants in due course once the internal processes have been completed. We are not able to accept any new applications.

Should you have any questions regarding the fund then please email: coachingfund@britishjudo.org.uk
