Funding and fundraising has become an essential part of all grassroots football club’s survival and there are various funding streams options available. Some of these may be affiliated with the County Football Associations and others not.
Grassroots Football clubs up and down the UK are seeking much needed financial support and help to keep going and provide a platform for their communities to play football. The COVID 19 pandemic in December 2019 raised the attention of the struggle in grassroots sports and the effect it can have on communities infrastructure, for which grassroots football clubs play a key part.
Junior Grassroots recognises that the government has helped, by providing clubs with business rate reductions and grants to cover the lockdown. The budget that was put in place went a fair way in supporting many grassroots football clubs across the country as well and all types of businesses. As such, there were provisions for temporary tax relief and to support affected businesses during the restrictions of the lockdown.
We feel that the ongoing issues with grassroots football funding will make it more difficult for grassroots clubs to sustain themselves whilst trying to provide an essential platform for their communities and for their children.

There are plenty of ways to raise funds and due to the recent pandemic, raising money in grassroots football is going to be quite a task. Getting local support from businesses locally can help take on numerous tasks and it doesn’t all need to be tied in with giving cash.
