Our impact on grassroots football facilities

Thanks to the investment of our Funding Partners the Premier League, the FA and the Government we’ve improved pitches, brought communities together and changed lives. And it’s not just about kicking a ball about – the facilities we fund have helped improve physical fitness, mental wellbeing and local economies.

We’re incredibly proud of the difference we’ve made to grassroots sport up and down the country since we started our journey, but we’re not slowing down any time soon.

Our

Impact

How Does

It Help?

From Preston to Portsmouth and Teeside to Truro, our sports funding ensures over 15 million people in England get to play football regularly, contributing £15.9bn to society each year, including £3.2bn in total healthcare savings. Grassroots football funding also contributes to the prevention of 13,000 crimes a year, and to the prevention of 500,000 cases of disease.

Pitches We've Unlocked

Transforming Lives

Every pound we invest is with the goal of improving someone’s life through the power of grassroots sport. We’re incredibly proud of the impact our pitches and sports facilities have had on the mental health, friendships, careers and happiness of millions of people over the last 24 years.
