Tesco and the The Sun newspaper, have joined together to provide a funding pot of £150,000. The fund is to encourage more children and young people to take up football or improve access to the game.
The grants are part of The Sun’s Footie for All campaign. The fund is to highlight how financial struggles are forcing young people to give up football.
The funding is designed to provide support to grassroots football organisations working with children under the age of 18. The funding is to enable clubs and groups to continue to deliver activities that allow local young people to take part.
Constituted not-for-profit grassroots football clubs can apply for grants of up to £1,000 which will support 100% of project costs.
The funding can be used to assist clubs in improving facilities, purchasing equipment and new kits, and meeting any other needs.
The deadline for applications is 30 April 2024.
