Development of new extracurricular outdoor accessible cycling club and storage to provide new opportunities and increase pupils’ confidence and competence for cycling.
Furness Academy	Development of a new mountain bike trail, which would be something completely new for the area. Open for extra-curricular and community use, specifically targeting people from audiences who suffer the greatest inequalities.
St. George’s C of E Primary and Nursery School	A collaboration between St George's C of E Primary and Nursery School, Greengate Junior School and Sacred Heart Catholic Primary School to open up their school facilities and offer a wide range of activities as part of their after school provision and evening sessions for the local community. Top up swimming sessions for their Y6 pupils, and increased opportunities to gain confidence and competence with cycling. All three primary schools are working together so that there is something to do every night of the week in a key strategic priority area.
Greengate Junior School	The funding was used in a variety of ways in a number of projects designed to get more children physically active. There was a real focus on providing a broad range of extra-curricular opportunities in the community, not just for the children in their school. Equipment was purchased and staff were trained to allow the ongoing sustainability.
Sacred Heart Catholic Primary School	Funding used to support a range of projects including top-up swimming lessons, additional extra-curricular clubs, equipment and storage facilities.
St James' C of E Junior School	The funding was used to support 2 projects. 1. To provide an increased range of extra-curricular participation opportunities targeted at girls, free-school meals children and those with diverse ethnic backgrounds. 2. To improve the longevity and usage of the artificial pitch by purchasing resources, moveable storage and equipment to maintain the pitch.
