What are considered to be ineligible costs?

Please note that for this themed round we will not fund any of the following:

Projects intended primarily for private gain either capital or revenue
Grants that contribute directly to a company's distributable profits
Endowments
Funds to build up a reserve or surplus
Retrospective funding (costs incurred prior to programme launch)
Loan repayments
Activities that primarily promote religious belief
Purchase of leaseholds of less than 21 years
Minor works, repairs or maintenance (for example, replacing a leaking roof on an existing facility)
Floodlighting for natural turf pitches
Personal equipment and / or fixed or loose equipment not part of a wider capital build
Maintenance equipment, fixed or loose equipment or office equipment not essential to the equipping of the facility.
Multi Use Games Areas (MUGAs) without floodlights
Any facility not meeting Sport Englands Technical / Design Guidelines
Vehicles or transport costs, by which we mean the purchase or leasing of a vehicle or general transport costs for participants. However, a contribution towards the travel costs of participants will be eligible if the travel is directly linked to participation in the planned sporting activity. For example, discounts up to the value of a bus ticket on admission to a sports facility where an activity is taking place, on presentation of that ticket, would be eligible for funding. The purchase of a general bus pass for participants would be ineligible.
The contribution should only represent a small proportion of the overall project costs.
