Grants generally from £1,000 - £12,000 are available to UK registered charities and not-for-profit organisations for sporting initiatives that assist the disabled, special needs, the disadvantaged and other sports men, women and children where their talents have been overlooked. (BOOST stands for Building On Overlooked Sporting Talent).

- Physical and Learning Disabilities
- Mental Health
- Social Exclusion
- Financial Hardship
- Medical Research and Relief
