Sports Pledge

One Full year at a football club for one young person

For many families, the cost of grassroots football is becoming unaffordable, with parents often paying up to £500 a season for club subscriptions, training sessions and essential kit. As household budgets come under increasing pressure, too many young people are being forced to give up the sport they love or miss out altogether.

 

By supporting this pledge, you’ll fund an entire year of grassroots football for one young person who would otherwise be unable to take part. Your donation will cover everything they need to play, including club fees, training and kit, giving them the chance to develop their skills, build confidence, stay active and be part of a supportive team. Together, we can ensure that every child has the opportunity to enjoy football, regardless of their family’s financial circumstances.

Proof of concept

What we’ve already done.

WEMBLEY FOR 100
We took 100 children and their parents to a 2025/26 playoff final at Wembley Stadium — an experience that would have been out of reach for most of those families.

GUIDING CLUBS
We advise and guide sports clubs on how to build strong, inclusive policies — from bursary provision to storage and safeguarding practice.

KIT TO CLUBS
We’ve delivered donated kit and equipment to local sports clubs, ensuring young people can participate without cost being a barrier on day one.

KIT TO SCHOOLS
Schools have received kit through Sports Bank — from PE essentials to sport-specific equipment — supporting children who arrive without the right gear.

Have a specific need?
Let’s build a campaign around it.

If you’re a club, school or organisation with a specific need — boxing kit, period products, season memberships, travel — get in touch and we’ll create a campaign together.

Need support? Or want to help?

Whether you’re a club, a school, a parent or a donor — we want to hear from you.
