The Barclays Spaces for Sports scheme involves our League title sponsor Barclays, Groundwork and the Football Foundation in an exciting partnership in which disused or worn out areas are regenerated into the sporting facilities that local residents feel they need.
It doesn't end there; the programme also provides funding and equipment to get sporting activities up and running, and to engage even the hardest to reach groups within communities.
Coaching Packs
In addition to funding new sports sites and engaging communities, every month we provide 100 coaching packs (worth £750 each) to sports teams in underprivileged areas and award one person who has been working tirelessly to promote grassroots sport in their local community with out Spaces for Sports Local Hero Award.
The programme is now in its third year and has been hugely successful with more than 130 sports facilities being opened and over 3000 Barclays coaching packs being given out to sports teams all over the country.
The programme aims to build 200 sites and award 3,600 coaching packs in total, giving half a million people the opportunity to benefit.
