sApplications are now open for Motorsport UK’s 2027 Inclusion Grants; created by Motorsport UK to empower our community and diversify our 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.
Created last year, the Inclusion Grant is designed to enable organisations, individuals or groups to align with Motorsport UK’s EDI Strategy and overall commitment to get more people enjoying motorsport more often by attracting new participants.
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 our 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. Applications will go through a three-stage review, including eligibility checks, committee review, and final sign-off by the Motorsport UK Board.
Simon Wright-Jones, Sustainability, Motorsport UK, comments, “This year we awarded Inclusion Grants to four organisations; Greenpower, the British Women Racing Drivers Club IntoSpeed, Quatermass Motorsport and the England Deaf Karting Association. Each one brought forward thoughtful, impactful ideas that align strongly with the principles of our Vision 2030 strategy and they are all broadening the reach of our sport to new participants, setting high standards for our 2027 grant applicants and strengthening the future of motorsport in the UK.”
The Inclusion Grant is officially launched ahead of National Motorsport Week 2026, proving that there is a motorsport for everyone, and Motorsport UK is now welcoming applications until Friday 7th August 2026.
