Grassroots Football Fund

Sometimes grassroots clubs, leagues and volunteers need help. They don't look for handouts, but now and then they – and their volunteers – need a leg-up. That's why we've teamed up with the Utilita Football re-booted movement to launch the Grassroots Fund.

What is the Grassroots Fund?

The fund offers help. It's no nonsense, no strings attached support for grassroots football. It's easy to apply and we make decisions quickly. All we ask in return is you let us talk about the support we've provided.

Who's it for?

The fund is for grassroots clubs and leagues and the people who volunteer. We're open to anyone who's looking for a little help to make a big difference. If our help can make football better, we're interested.

What's our aim?

We want to put more smiles into grassroots football. So, if you have a project, an emergency or a brilliant reason to say thank you to someone, we want to hear from you.

Type of support

Support is tailored to the needs and aims of each application. It can be for anything to improve football and the lives of people who make grassroots football happen. It can be anything, but examples might include:

• Vouchers for materials to fix up the clubhouse
• Money to help pay for tradespeople to make improvements to your clubhouse
• Gifts to show appreciation to volunteers
• Support to recover from crime or vandalism
• Funding to help make your facility safe
• Help to improve your game and playing environment
