I’m in the process of launching my own business helping people in chronic pain, with injury prevention, neuromuscular coordination, among a range of other benefits and services.
 
Helping NDIS participants and people with disabilities, schools, workplaces, youth and mature aged sports participants are a few of the groups I’ll be catering to, and I’d also like to start a chronic pain support group on the Sunshine Coast, with the potential for this to grow to a state, national and even international group. 

Some of this could include starting or supporting sporting competitions/leagues that are underrepresented and establishing community or specific group exercise programs and mental health initiatives for general population and disadvantaged people in general. 

I would also like to start a support group for health professionals. 

I’m qualified as a Strength &amp; Conditioning Coach, Sports Trainer and Personal Trainer and have been in chronic pain myself for almost 7 years. 
Along with my passion for all this, my experience should help with suitability and experience for grants. 
 
I’m having trouble finding a grant that could assist me in launching my business and/or creating support groups and starting community projects and initiatives. 

For business I’m thinking for equipment predominately to help layout a small studio and to cart around for mobile training. 

For support groups, projects and initiatives grants would be used to help create, set up and continue them in general, along with the possibility of location hire and any purchase of equipment. 

There are so many grant finders and options out there, I’m honestly not sure which I qualify to apply for. 
I see many are for non-profit organisations, so I’m not phased as to whether the grants are for my business or not, as long as I can help as many people as possible. 

I’m also happy to tie in with any other individuals, organisations and non-for-profits if this makes it easier or you’re aware of support that’s needed for already established groups and ideas. 

I’d ideally like someone to find exact grants I’m suitable/eligible for and possibly even writing grant proposals if suitable grants are found. 

I’m located on the Sunshine Coast in Queensland. But I’m sure people would have the potential to help from anywhere in the world. 

If you’d like to know more or have any questions, don’t hesitate to contact me. 
 
If you can help me in any way I’d be very grateful. Thank you so much for reading!
