Barclays Community Football Fund

The Barclays Community Football Fund offers grants, training and exclusive ticketing offers to make football more accessible in communities across the UK.

The programme provides access grants of £500 for groups wishing to start offering football, those keen to expand their existing provision to new audiences, or those already delivering football to under-represented young people.  This includes girls, young people from racially diverse communities, young people with disabilities, young people from the LGBTQ+ community and those from lower socio-economic groups.
You will need to show clearly how your organisation is inclusive of these underrepresented groups, how you engage with them and what football activities you are able to provide.
The fund welcomes applications from not-for-profit organisations including community groups, youth groups and traditional football clubs.

Application deadline:
The fund is currently open until the end of December 2023 but may close earlier
