Community access football grants

9 August, 2024

The Barclays Community Football Fund access grants aim to support grassroots community groups, working within the most deprived areas of the UK. The funding is targeting organisations providing accessible football activities for the most underrepresented groups of young people. 

Who is eligible to apply?

  • Not-for-profit organisations including community groups, youth groups and traditional football clubs. Groups must meet the following criteria:
  • You are delivering services directly to beneficiaries from one or more of the priority groups as follows: women and girls, racially diverse communities, young people with disabilities, from the LGBTQ+ community and from lower socio-economic areas. 
  • Operate in an area of high deprivation and support the hardest to reach young people. Only organisations located in or supporting young people from IMD areas 1-3 are eligible to apply.
  • Recognising the disproportionate impact that the pandemic and cost of living crisis has had on young people with disabilities applications for disability football will be eligible from groups that sit outside of IMD areas 1-3.
  • You are already delivering football activities to young people under the age of twenty five, or you are wanting to start with this support. 

How much can I apply for?

You can apply for an access grant of £1000 to support delivery of your football activities to engage with young people from underrepresented groups. You can apply for one grant of £1000 per club/group.
