Motorsport UK Opening Up the Road Ahead

Motorsport UK has launched a new grant initiative to empower and diversify the sport.

The Inclusion Grant provides targeted funding to help remove barriers and enable greater participation from underrepresented communities, specifically across those wanting to compete and volunteer in the sport at any level.

Forming part of Motorsport UK’s broader Inclusion Strategy, the Inclusion Grant has been launched to enable organisations, individuals or groups to align with Motorsport UK’s commitment to expand and grow its community of licence holders, by attracting new participants into motorsport.

Motorsport UK will support projects that demonstrate potential growth of Motorsport UK competition licence holders, esport members and the club community or support the training of new marshals and officials.

All projects must showcase clear goals, accountability, and alignment with Motorsport UK’s inclusion priorities.

Potential recipients can apply for grants from £100 up to £10,000 that support impactful projects that help individuals from underrepresented groups access new opportunities within motorsport.

Motorsport UK may provide funding for up to a maximum of three years, but grantees must submit a new application every year.

Applications are open to UK based organisations, such as registered charities, Community Interest Companies, not-for-profit initiatives or Motorsport UK Clubs.

“We have always been aware that we need to diversify our sport,” said Jessica Runicles, Head of Sustainability, Motorsport UK.

“This grant is an opportunity to empower our community and underrepresented groups to use their lived experience in creating a more inclusive sport. We hope that this opportunity will enable organisations, individuals or groups to explore motorsport.”

The deadline for applications is October 6, 2025. For further information on how to apply visit: https://www.motorsportuk.org/about-us/equality- diversity-and-inclusion/initiatives/inclusion-grant/
