Academic partnership to explore legacy benefi ts
A new research collaboration between the University of Bath (UB) and the São Paulo Research Foundation (FAPESP) in Brazil will explore the impact of major sport- ing events on society, politics and the economy. The new project – co- funded by a Researcher Links grant from the British Council and FAPESP – will enable academics from UB to share their research on the legacy claims of major sporting events with colleagues in Brazil. The partnership is being launched at a time when the amount of public money spent on providing the stadia and infrastruc- ture needed to host Rio 2016 and the World Cup 2014 has resulted in widespread social unrest in Brazil.

The funding is aimed at breathing new life into community sports facilities which have become worn-down or diffi cult to maintain. It is also being used to convert existing buildings into venues that are more suitable for grassroots sport. Among the projects to receive funding are Streatham Youth and Community Trust (£67,900), which will use the money to convert a youth centre into a high quality sports facility and Bishop Auckland Canoe and Kayaking Club. The canoe club was
handed £54,900 towards a move to a new location – a disused swimming pool at St John’s RC – and to set up its fi rst permanent home. The Inspired Facilities Fund is open to community and voluntary organisations which are able to bid for grants of up to £75,000. Other organisations such as councils and schools are able to apply for grants of up to £150,000. Following criticism from sports organisations over application procedures in the past, the grant is now an open programme – applications can be submitted at any time, rather than by specifi c deadlines.
