  to be successful.If you wish to apply for
  funds, you should first refer to the North West
  Plan for Sport and Physical Activity. Compare
  your proposals to the ambitions of the plan and
  assess your ability to work with other sports,
  partners and agencies, including the private
  sector. You will need to provide robust evidence
  in terms of need and in terms of how well you can
  reach out to local communities.
