FOOTBALL FOUNDATION RESPONDS TO THE GOVERNMENT'S CONTINUED SUPPORT FOR GRASSROOTS SPORT

Robert Sullivan, CEO of the Football Foundation, said:

"The Government’s continued support for the Football Foundation’s partnership is fantastic news for everyone who’s been inspired by England’s men and women’s teams to lace up their boots.

After 24 years delivering quality facilities across the country, we know the potential of grassroots sport to transform lives and strengthen communities from the roots up. We especially welcome the Secretary of State’s determination to add “rocket boosters” to our work.

Everyone deserves a great place to play, and thanks to the support of the Premier League, The FA and Government, we‘re continuing to unlock the power of pitches for every community.”
