There is no one solution to reaching these audiences, so we are welcoming an innovative and multi-faceted approach to bids being submitted from Basketball England affiliated clubs and leagues.

"Clubs and Leagues have been through a turbulent period of time with constant uncertainty. However, we hope that this funding can help support the delivery of the sport and ease the hardship that basketball clubs and leagues have faced."
