Little Bleeders encourages young people and their families to lead active lives and participate in sport as a way of managing their condition. We support our community of young people to understand that despite their condition, they can lead fulfilling, healthy and normal lives.

Little Bleeders believe that an active life is central to managing the condition. The Fund will support and inspire the younger generation of little bleeders to fulfil their sporting potential, manage their condition, and participate in normal youth activities.

The Little Bleeders Sports Fund offers grants to support the sporting development of young people living with haemophilia. From swimming courses, to cycling, horse riding or climbing, the Little Bleeders Sports Fund will fund courses that support personal and physical development in young people living with haemophilia.

Funding is available up to £250 per round.
