Sport Should Be For Everyone.
We Are Making Sure It Is.
Too many young people miss out on sport because of cost. Not talent. Not desire. Just money.
The Sports Bank exists to change that. We work with clubs and schools to make sure young people from low income households can access sport – with the kit, equipment and support they need to take part fully and with confidence.
Here is how it works.
Kit Pack: socks, shorts and shirt £8
Help a young athlete with an essential training kit.
10 Fab little Bag Dispensers + 100 Bags £40
Support period dignity in sports clubs.
One term of Minibus Travel for a Team £1,500
Ensure teams make it to training and matches.
One Coach for 10 Hours £300
Fund professional coaching to inspire young athletes.
Shop & Give At The Same Time
Every purchase made through the Play It Forward shop earns sporting items for the Sports Bank. We distribute those items to clubs and schools, who pass them on to young people who need them most. You shop. A young person gets the kit to play. Simple. The shop is launching soon. Leave your email and we will let you know the moment it goes live.
Make A Direct Pledge
Our pledge campaigns let you fund something specific and see exactly where your money goes. Examples might include £500 buying 20 footballs for a local club, or £750 providing 25 sports bras to a school. Every pledge goes directly to a verified club or school supporting young people from low income households.
Pledge campaigns are launching soon. Sign up to hear about them first.
