Forward Motion Grants
All of our donations and fundraising goes towards our "Forward Motion" Grants Scheme. We provide small grants to disabled Individuals, Clubs and Groups to enable them to pursue their sport. We have approved over 400 applications to-date representing 35 different para sports.
To continue the legacy of our association and support from the Douglas Bader Foundation we will award some grants under the name "Arctic One/Douglas Bader Forward Motion Grant" and will be publicised on this basis.

All grants by individuals and groups will be assessed by the Trustees and Grant Committee. The grant program is always open (as funds allow) and applications will be assessed within 2 months from submission. Grant requests can be made by Individuals, Clubs or Groups to provide assistance for essential sporting equipment, essential training/competition costs, further education etc.
You may apply for a grant a maximum of once in a 12 month period (from the date that the first grant is approved).
The Arctic One Foundation is a small charity with limited resources and our grants will reflect this. Successful grant applicants will be required to provide updates to Arctic One and any assistance to the charity and promoting our goals is appreciated
Our typical successful grants are as follows:
Travel costs: Maximum £250
Coaching/Training costs: £250 - £500
Equipment: £200 - £1000
Courses (such as coaching courses): £200 - £750
The figures above are guidelines only and we will assess each application individually. Applications for any amount (including amounts larger than the figures above) will be considered.
We are especially keen on supporting projects that will benefit more than one person.
We can also help with fundraising for additional amounts and have links with other charities etc who may also be able to assist depending on the application. To continue the grants, we need your support and it is important to show in your application how you can help Arctic One as well as others so that we are able to raise awareness and funds to help others.
