The aim of the Barclays Community Football Fund, which is being managed by the Sported Foundation on behalf of Barclays, is to make playing football more accessible at a grassroots level, and in particular focused on including and inspiring:
o Girls and young people from lower socio-economic and under-represented groups.
o Culturally diverse communities.
o Young people with disabilities, and
o Young people from the LGBTQ+ community.
Community organisations that are keen to offer football and want to expand their existing provision to new audiences, as well as organisations that are already delivering football to under-represented groups are encouraged to apply.
Further information, guidance and details about how to apply can be found on the Sported Foundation website.
Applications may be made at any time.
