Funding to Support Grassroots Community Sport

Greene King has pledged nearly £350,000 in funding to support grassroots sport within local communities across the UK.

Grants of up to £4,000 are available through the Proud To Pitch In Campaign, which raises funding through the sale of Greene King IPA for activities such as football, rugby, cricket, roller hockey or netball.

Applications can be made by grassroots and community sports clubs running activities for people aged 18 and over.

Examples of projects that have previously received funding include:

• Renovations of a club’s facilities, making them more inclusive and accessible
• Coaching qualifications and referee courses
• New equipment

Applications can be made at any time until the 1st November 2024. Grants will be distributed regularly.

The fund is particularly focused on sports projects that have a long-term impact.
