It’s a game-changing year for grassroots sport with the help of the Premier League, The FA and Government’s Football Foundation

The Football Foundation is set to deliver support to grassroots clubs and organisations in a bigger way than ever before – with a full range of funding opportunities.

If you’re looking for new goalposts, or floodlights to shine a light on your brilliant players, a grass pitch that can be used all year round, or a community space that will be welcoming to all, the Football Foundation has got you covered.

Funding available includes:

• Goalposts
• Fencing
• Portable floodlights
• Storage containers
• Changing pavilions and clubhouses
• Grass pitch improvement
• 3G pitches
• 3G maintenance machinery and equipment
• New Grass Pitches
• Defibrillators

In the last 23 years they have awarded grants worth over £1.04 billion across the country - that’s 1,100 3G pitches, 12,500 grass pitches and 1,400 changing facilities – and a total project value of over £2bn!

During this time we’ve helped clubs across Hertfordshire access more than 1,250 of those grants, bringing close to £21m worth of investment into the game locally, and working with us they have created an action plan which identifies where facilities are most needed so that any future funding can have the maximum impact.
