PROUD TO PITCH IN

“Weavertown FC applied for a £4,000 grant from Proud to Pitch In to cover additional training sessions, pitch hire at a safer location and a training qualification for one of their volunteers, their application then made it to the February judging panel. When we’re judging the applications, we judge based upon Focus, Accessibility, Community impact, Attainability, Effective use of funding and Inclusivity – Weavertown FC ticked every box. We’re seeing more and more that clubs are needing funding for pitch hire or training sessions which is a real sign of the times – we should all be PROUD that we are PITCHING IN to help keep these brilliant grassroots clubs alive!”

Weaverton FC said: “Massive thank you to Greene King IPA for funding our project! We look forward to delivering our project to develop more female football coaches and enhance our training sessions by setting up mid-week training with floodlit pitches for the winter season, using the funding to help subsidise the cost and remove barriers for the unwaged/lower-waged members. Thank you.
